PETALUMA, Calif. (Aug. 28, 2022)/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Today, CamelBak, the global leader in personal hydration products, and official hydration sponsor for UTMB Mont Blanc, announces several new events, partnerships and activities aimed at growing the ultrarunning community and redefining the limits of athletics at the Dacia UTMB Mont-Blanc.
Through its ongoing partnership with UTMB, CamelBak will use ultrarunning’s biggest stage to promote inclusivity, highlight the accomplishments of participating athletes, and invite fans around the world to join the competition through a virtual run challenge.
“We are honored to return to Chamonix for UTMB Mont-Blanc to continue our mission to grow the sport of running and foster meaningful connections within all outdoor disciplines and communities,” said Tim Perry, Senior Manager, Brand & Partnership Marketing at CamelBak. “UTMB is the pinnacle of trail racing events across the globe, and through our sponsorship, we hope to bring awareness to the event’s competitive spirit, create more opportunities for participation, and provide high-quality products and hydration solutions athletes need to perform their best.”
CamelBak, as part of its ongoing commitment to promote inclusivity within outdoor communities, has partnered with Ultra Black Running, a London-based collective and space for Black Women & Black Non-Binary to thrive through the world of trail running and beyond. Members of Ultra Black Running will participate in the UTMB ETC race on Tuesday, August 29, with product and crew support from CamelBak throughout the event.
On August 31, CamelBak will host a panel discussion with Team CamelBak athletes Sally McRae, Sage Canaday, Harry Jones and Scotty Hawker, along with Ultra Black Running founder, Dora Atim and members of the group. The panel will address challenges within ultrarunning, fostering the growth of the sport, and redefining the limits of what’s possible within the community. The event begins at 6 p.m. at the Folie Douce Hotel with a happy hour following the panel discussion.
To celebrate the iconic race and grow the sport of running, CamelBak announces the first “Redefine Limits Run Challenge” through Strava. Athletes across the globe will run a-tenth of the UTMB race distance (17.1 km) to celebrate the incredible feats of those competing in UTMB and receive 20% off purchases of CamelBak products after completion. The challenge is open to Strava members in select regions between August 28 and September 3, 2023. CamelBak Redefine Limits Run Challenge – Strava Challenges
