July 30, 2020

The alliance puts COROS, makers of premium endurance sports wearables, in a prime position to connect with XTERRA’s active, international community of endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.

Honolulu, HI (July 30, 2020) – XTERRA today announced a partnership with COROS Wearables Inc. that positions the performance sports technology company as the official sports watch of the XTERRA U.S. Trail Run Series.

The alliance puts COROS, makers of premium endurance sports wearables, in a prime position to connect with XTERRA’s active, international community of endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.

“XTERRA has been passionate about exploring and self-challenge for more than 25 years, so there is a wealth of authentic, trail-tested experience there,” said Lewis Wu, CEO of COROS.  “We’ve built our GPS watches to stand-up to the type of gritty challenges XTERRA athletes pursue and through that process created the best option in the market for runners, triathletes, and adventurers. Our culture aligns naturally with XTERRA and with this partnership we have an opportunity to really connect our communities and push boundaries together.”

COROS multisport and adventure watches, worn and endorsed by elite runners such as Sage Canaday (2nd at the 2019 XTERRA Trail Run World Championship) and reigning XTERRA Trail Run Worlds Champ, Grayson Murphy, are known for their incredible long battery life of up to 60 hours in full GPS mode and their durability rooted in sapphire glass screen material and a grade 5 titanium alloy bezel.

“I love the reliability of my COROS watch,” said Murphy.  “No matter how gnarly or how steep the terrain is, I never lose service or battery and always get an accurate GPS file. It’s perfect for every adventure and with tons of activity modes, including “trail run” – I’m always covered!”

The COROS brand motto – Explore Perfection – is synergistic with XTERRA’s mantra to Live More, and the watch’s functional attributes are enablers for both.  XTERRA athletes will particularly revel in the track and navigation features that help adventurists discover new trail systems without getting lost.

“Commitment to quality is a shared value for both our brands, and I’m confident XTERRA athletes will fall in love with COROS just as I did,” said XTERRA World Tour president, Janet Clark. “It’s strong and reliable, and has great features that can truly enhance the aspirational XTERRA lifestyle.”
