December 15, 2025

Fueling Runners On and Off the Trails

Folsom, CA /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – NorCalUltras and JAMBAR are proud to announce the continuation of their partnership as they enter their fifth year of working together, with JAMBAR returning as the official energy bar of NorCalUltras. Together, the two organizations bring premium, real-food organic energy to some of Northern California’s most iconic endurance events: the Way Too Cool Endurance Runs, the American River Endurance Runs, and the Rio Del Lago Endurance Runs.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

For NorCalUltras, partnering with companies that share their values is essential to creating exceptional race experiences. “We strive to work with brands invested in people first,” said owner of NorCalUltras, Julie Fingar. “JAMBAR truly cares about every athlete and every individual who shows up at our events. Their passion for wellness, integrity, and community makes this partnership special.”

NorCalUltras also recognizes the privilege of supporting a small, mission-driven company. “We are honored to help JAMBAR grow,” Fingar added. “Being part of their story is incredibly meaningful, and supporting partners who pour their hearts into what they do is one of the most rewarding parts of our work.”

JAMBAR a Favorite of Participants

“At the NorCalUltra events, it’s been amazing to see how many runners are incorporating JAMBARs into their pre-, during and post-race routine,” said lifelong runner and nutritionist Jennifer Maxwell, who created JAMBAR and co-founded the original energy bar, PowerBar®. “We look forward to another great year partnering with NorCalUltras and this incredible community.”

A Partnership That Extends Beyond the Trail

Beyond race day, the collaboration continues to grow in meaningful and heartfelt ways. “Working with the amazing team at JAMBAR is truly special,” said Fingar. “We love this partnership. It extends far beyond race day—it fuels the relationships, community, and passion that define our sport.”

As NorCalUltras and JAMBAR enter their fifth year together, both organizations look forward to strengthening their connection and continuing to support athletes with the nourishment, encouragement, and community they need to thrive.
