Hammer Nutrition - Meal Supplements Sponsor
Tried and tested by multi-sport and endurance athletes, the Kats will be using Hammer Products as their primary fuel source during the Bull.
We will be using mainly Pertpeteum. This a carbohydrate and protein mix that provides your body with the energy to race hard and long.
To replace electrolytes we will also use Endurolyte capsules, this will prevent cramping.
When we do take a break to catch up on sleep we will use Recoverite to replenish and nourish our bodies.
The benefit of these products during an expedition race like is they are easy to pack and prepare when we cannot depend on regular meals.
New Balance, First Ascent and Salomon - Apparel, Trail Shoes and Back Packs
New Balance are our primary apparel sponsor with First Ascent coming on board for extreme technical gear - Dry Lite all weather jackets, and Evolution cycling shorts.
New Balance and Salomon are also supporting us in the trail running shoes department, it is good to have different shoes as they effect your feet differently. Both these brands have excellent products and with 170 km of trail running and trekking, our feet will appreciate good quality shoes!
Salomon are also supplying us with our racing back-packs.
