St. Louis, MO -(AmmoLand.com)- Warson Brands, official licensee of Reebok tactical footwear, is supporting the 2016 Southeast Missouri (SEMO) SWAT Challenge, which will be held April 14th – 17th in Fredericktown, MO.
The SEMO SWAT Challenge is considered one of the top SWAT competitions nationwide, and this year Warson Brands is supporting the event by outfitting all contestants with Reebok tactical footwear.
All 120 competitors from the 13 different teams competing in the 2016 SEMO SWAT Challenge will have the opportunity to train in Reebok tactical footwear in the weeks leading up to the competition and wear Reebok tactical footwear during the event. Half of the participants will receive the new Reebok SPEARHEAD 8” tactical boot and half will receive the new Reebok KRIOS 8” tactical boot, which features GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Technology.
“The SEMO SWAT Challenge attracts elite SWAT team members from around the country,” says Danielle Beckmann, Warson Brands special events coordinator. “We want the law enforcement community to know that Reebok makes high performance tactical footwear and we believe that the SEMO SWAT challenge is the perfect opportunity for competitors to experience Reebok tactical footwear firsthand.”
Each of the competitors in the SEMO SWAT Challenge will receive a Reebok backpack full of gear, including Reebok boots, t-shirt, socks, water bottle, and Reebok Duty patch. The Reebok Spearhead and Krios boots are designed specifically to deliver comfort and performance in hot weather conditions and over adverse terrain.
“With competitive events such as the Obstacle Course, Officer Down and Special Operations that require sprinting, climbing, jumping, crawling, rappelling, buddy carry, and shooting, Reebok tactical footwear will give competitors the advantage they need to perform at their highest level,” says Beckmann.
A global fitness leader, Reebok is the sponsor of several elite fitness events, such as the CrossFit Games, Spartan Race, and Ultimate Fighting Championship, the world’s leading mixed martial arts organization. Reebok Duty has previously sponsored the Orlando International SWAT Round-Up and Best Ranger Competition.
