Black Diamond makes the best headlamps for runners available today.  We particularly like their Spot headlamp which provides incredible brightness and light weight.  Black Diamond is constantly working on improving their headlamps for trail runners and will be releasing new models in the near future.

Darn Tough socks are a product that truly live up to their name!  These are absolutely the toughest, most durable socks we’ve ever worn.  Not even close.  And, they’re super comfortable too!  We’ve got pairs of Darn Tough over a year old and we still haven’t worn a hole in them!  There may be some other socks out there that might be as comfortable, but there aren’t any that are this tough!

Headsweats makes the best, most comfortable running hats available.  We’ll be providing custom designed Adventure Running Co. running hats made by Headsweats to those runners who elected to receive a hat as their complimentary item.

Honey Stinger was developed to take advantage of the superior source of carbohydrates and energy that natural honey provides.  Plus, it tastes great!  We’ve found that when other gels start to get “old” and the last thing you want is to suck another gel down at mile 90 of a 100 mile race, honey, with it’s natural flavor stays fresh and inviting.  Honey Stinger makes great tasting gels, organic energy chews (mmmmmm...), protein bars and energy bars.

GoLite is the industry leader when it comes to clothing and gear that provide maximum performance with minimum weight.  Their gear is light and durable and will ensure that our guides have the best clothing and gear for any condition we might encounter on the trail.

Vasque makes the most comfortable trail running shoes we’ve run in.  They have a great selection of trail running shoes that offer light weight, stability and super traction.  They’re so comfortable, you can take them right out of the box and run 100 miles in them (though we don’t necessarily recommend it, we’ve done it!).
