On, the Swiss running shoes brand, has signed Lesley Paterson to an endorsement deal that will see the 2-time XTERRA World Champion wear the On shoes exclusively through 2014.
“We welcome Lesley to the On team that includes an impressive line-up of world champions,” says Olivier Bernhard, a former 3x World Duathlon Champion, 6-time Ironman champion and co-founder of On. “Like the dozens of champions and thousands of runners worldwide who have experienced the unique On running sensation, Lesley will find running in the On more fun.”
Known as “The Scottish Rocket,” this native of Scotland may be small but she packs a mean punch. Not only does she dominate in XTERRA races, but she’s also an accomplished Ironman triathlete, as demonstrated by her victory at Mooseman 70.3 in 2011. Lesley is scheduled to compete in 14 XTERRA races, triathlons and Ironman 70.3 events in the 2013 season. For more information on Lesley, visit www.LesleyPaterson.com.

“As soon as I put these running shoes on I was blown away,” said Lesley. “They are responsive and a smooth ride. They transfer power nicely off the ground yet are very light. Im excited to throw down some great run times with them on and off-road.”
Earlier this year teamTBB, the world’s premiere triathlon team, chose On after several of its leading athletes including Caroline Steffen (SUI), David Dellows (AUS) and Daniel Halksworth (UK) saw dramatic improvements in their running times and Ironman victories in the On. Some of the other world champions running the On include XTERRA Champion Ben Allen (AUS), triathlete David Hauss (FRA) and marathon legend and United Nations Ambassador of Sport and Peace Tegla Loroupe (KEN). In addition to teamTBB, two professional cycling teams, Drapac (AUS) and Quick-Step (GER), wear the On for training and post-race recovery.
