The New Mount to Coast™ C1: The Super Trainer for Ultra Running

April 6, 2026

The new C1, from the leader in ultra-distance running, is the brand’s first high-stack road shoe to use CircleCELL and gives runners the confidence they need to accomplish their boldest goals

HONG KONG (April 6, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Mount to Coast, the first shoe brand to specialize in keeping athletes comfortable and efficient over ultra- and long-distance road runs, is bringing its class-leading performance technology and design standards to road running with the new C1 Super Trainer (MSRP $180), on sale today.

Living up to the Super Trainer name, this new model, available in three eye-catching designs, offers road runners uncompromising comfort with firm cushion, propulsive performance, and durability thanks to Mount to Coast’s dual-layer midsole. The design layers responsive CircleCELL foam on top of a rubberized EVA layer that provides support and stability. C1 also features Mount to Coast’s TUNEDFIT Dual Lacing System and uses a wider base with higher sidewalls to give runners the stability they need as the miles accumulate.

Not only responsive, CircleCELL is also made from 100% renewable feedstock, including recycled materials and organic waste. The material lasts nearly twice as long as other PEBA soles, so runners will get more miles out of each pair. CircleCELL also outperforms other materials with noticeably improved rebound. The CircleCELL dual-layer midsole was first offered to runners on Mount to Coast’s H1 hybrid shoe, and has been optimized for road running in the C1.

“Our runners trust us to build shoes that will keep them running comfortably over long miles,” said Mount to Coast founder and Head of Product Yeti Zhang. “For our runners looking to push themselves over the longest miles and most challenging road ultras, we’ve built our most comfortable and most responsive road shoe yet. The C1 Super Trainer delivers a unique feel that combines responsiveness with cushion, setting it apart from other shoes on the road. We’re proud to offer runners a shoe with this level of comfort and performance while also using sustainable materials that are both less resource-intensive to create and last longer, helping the planet and customers’ wallets.”
