Running Poles Rockland BOOSTER 120 cm - Rockland, model R335

Rockland BOOSTER running poles (120 cm) are lightweight, compact poles designed specifically for trail running and off-road movement. Model R335 provides added stability on uneven terrain, helps distribute load to the upper body and reduces impact on knees and ankles. The poles are intended for faster trail movement and mixed-surface interval training, offering support without significant added weight or bulk.

Advantages

The construction balances low weight with sufficient stiffness for running: a compact length for transport and rapid use, combined with a grip and tip system suited for varied surfaces. These poles help maintain cadence and balance on technical sections and can decrease joint stress during steep ascents and descents. Their simple, lightweight design allows quick deployment and minimal interference with running technique.

Suitable for

• Trail running on uneven or technical terrain
• Off-road interval training and mixed-surface runs
• Endurance runs where upper-body engagement reduces leg fatigue
• Routes with frequent elevation changes (ascents and descents)

Key specifications

• Length: 120 cm (fixed length)
• Intended use: trail running and off-road movement
• Weight category: lightweight running poles
• Design features: compact profile for easy carrying, ergonomic grip for running
• Tips: suited for mixed surfaces including dirt, gravel and packed trail

How to use

Set the pole to the usable length (120 cm) and position the grip so that your elbow is at approximately a 90-degree angle when holding the handle while standing in your running stance. Plant the pole slightly behind your forward foot during each stride to aid propulsion and balance; on steep uphill sections use a more forward plant to assist with pushing, and on descents shorten your reach and plant slightly ahead to improve stability. Maintain a light but secure grip and avoid overloading the pole; let it assist rhythm and balance rather than carry weight entirely.

Usage recommendations

Use the poles on mixed trails, gravel and hard-packed surfaces. Inspect tips and grips regularly for wear, and replace worn tips to maintain traction. When transporting, secure poles to avoid impact or bending; clean and dry them after muddy or wet runs to prevent material degradation.
