Shokz announces ultrarunner Tom Evans as brand ambassador

Shokz, the global consumer electronics brand, has announced one of the world’s leading ultrarunners, Tom Evans, as a brand ambassador.

Combining his passion for both fitness and music, Tom Evans embodies Shokz’s commitment to help enhance active lifestyles through unmatched sound experiences. Tom Evans is an advocate of Shokz’s open-ear features, which maintains his situational awareness when he’s either on the road or on trails. As part of the partnership, Tom Evans will continue to use Shokz range of products as part of his training regime, as he attempts to win the world’s most competitive trail ultramarathon in the world later this year, the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB).

Last year, Tom Evans – renowned for his extraordinary achievements in ultra-marathon running – became only the second European ever to win the 100-mile gruelling Western States Endurance Run, cementing himself as one of the world’s most respected ultrarunners.

A former British Army captain, Tom Evans discovered his capabilities when he entered his first ever ultramarathon in 2017 – the Marathon de Sables, a 251km race across the Sahara Desert. Remarkably, he finished in third place – the best result any European had ever achieved in the history of the race. Turning professional a year later, Tom Evans has since won several prestigious races, establishing himself as one of the world’s leading ultra runners.

On becoming a Shokz ambassador, Tom Evans said: “I’m thrilled to be part of the Shokz family. The headphones are a total game-changer for me. Whether it’s travelling, racing or training at home, they’ve become a staple of my kit – they’re as important to me as my running shoes!”

Daisy Cong, International Marketing Director, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Tom as an ambassador. He’s an incredibly inspiring and talented individual that aligns perfectly with our values and ethos. Tom has some big aspirations this year and we look forward to supporting him along the way.”
