Members of the Unify sales, e-commerce and marketing teams travelled to Salt Lake City for the @cotopaxi Spring/Summer 2027 Global Sales Meeting.
An inspiring few days spent connecting with the wider global Cotopaxi team, sharing ideas, and getting an early look at the SS27 apparel and equipment collections - and the future is looking incredibly strong (and unmistakably colourful, in true Cotopaxi style!).
Beyond the product, what stood out most was the energy, passion and sense of community that sits at the heart of the brand. From a brilliant Cotopaxi family BBQ to hiking above Salt Lake City with incredible views across Utah, it was a great reminder of why this partnership is so special.
To top it all off, Team Unify even came home with a coveted Cotopaxi “Lammy” award: 'Summit 2025' for the largest sustained unit growth across multiple seasons. Recognising that Unify did not just have a great 2025 but is building sustained brand momentum into 2026 and beyond.
A huge thank you to the entire Cotopaxi team for the hospitality, inspiration and partnership. We’re excited for what’s ahead and more motivated than ever to continue building the brand here in the UK.

@nnormal_official launched the new Cadi style in March and it’s been great to get it out on the trails where it really belongs.
We’ve hosted a series of demo runs with some of our fantastic retail partners, @peteblandsports in Kendal, @fitstuffguildford , and @uxplore.store in Abergavenny, giving runners the chance to put the Cadi through its paces in real conditions.
The response to the new style has been really strong from those taking part, and it’s been great to see that momentum carry through into sales following the events.
There’s nothing better than seeing people experience the shoe exactly as it was designed to be used. Huge thanks to everyone who joined the runs and to our retail partners for helping bring these events to life.
More to come 🏃♂️👟
Proud moment this weekend 💙
Wishing @blainalambsrfc the very best of luck as they take on Abercrave RFC in the Division 1 Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium 🏉
As partners of the club, it’s been incredible to see the journey to this stage - built on dedication, resilience and real community spirit.
Go well this Sunday.

Heartfelt thanks to Abergavenny's @uxplore.store , @unify_bp , @nnormal_official , Welsh running legend and @pegasusultrarunning RD @rjenko11 , and all you fine folk who came and asked your cheeky questions last night.
The event raised well over £1k for @intoultra , helping more people get into ultrarunning by reducing financial barriers.
What a community we have. 💚🙏
It feels like a better time than any to support local, independent races (I'll be signing up for a @pegasusultrarunning epic soon 😉) and businesses.
@uxplore.store is a small, independent outdoor and running shop with a reputation for knowledgeable staff and a focus on serious trail and mountain gear (and currently the only physical stockist of NNormal daps in south Wales).
Good prep for the speaking tour. Though can you all stop asking me about my repeated failures at the stupid race with the disappearing books now please?
Though, ahem, we can talk about Run Forever (out 9 April)?

On Tuesday, our @uxplore.store team brought the Abergavenny community together for a hands-on demo event to try out the latest Silva headtorches and learn some navigation skills from @adventureruncoachinguk ’s Brett & Bethan. 🏃🔦
It was brilliant to see the Abergavenny community fully embrace the event by kicking things off with a 4km run around town before putting their new navigation skills into practice, then heading back to the store for well-earned refreshments and a chance to connect.
To top off the evening, one lucky raffle winner went home with a brand-new SMINI Silva head torch!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined and made the event such a great success!🙌
