PETALUMA, Calif. /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Today, CamelBak, the global leader in personal hydration products, and the UTMB World Series have announced a multi-year global partnership beginning in 2022. As the official supplier for hydration packs, filtration systems, sports bottles and drinkware, CamelBak will bring its best-in-class innovation to the Series for those seeking to perform to their fullest potential. The partnership reflects CamelBak’s ongoing commitment towards the running community and discipline.

“For 30 years, CamelBak has continuously reinvented outdoor hydration for runners, bikers, hikers and all who enjoy the outdoors. We are honored to join UTMB World Series as the official hydration sponsor to ensure that all athletes are hydrated, both on and off the trail,” said Steve Nadler, VP of product and marketing at CamelBak. “The UTMB World Series is the pinnacle trail racing event series, and we look forward to being a part of the global partnership program.”

As pioneers in hydration and carry solutions since 1989, as well as a UTMB partner since 2016, CamelBak strives to empower those who pursue an active lifestyle, from established elites to newcomers just beginning their running journey. In line with UTMB World Series’ commitment to reduce plastic waste by removing all disposable cups from aid stations, CamelBak also has a clear mission to reduce the use of disposable plastic bottles through the provision of reusable and more sustainable products.

“We are thrilled to partner with CamelBak as their innovative products are not only well-respected by trail runners around the world, but are also an essential part of their adventure,” said Frédéric Lénart, CEO at UTMB Group. “Together we share a commitment and passion for the outdoors, trail running and the protection of our environment. We look forward to working with CamelBak to enhance our offering to athletes and to continue to build on our long-term partnership”.

The 2022 UTMB World Series includes 25 incredible events across 16 different countries in Asia, Oceania, Europe, and the Americas. The UTMB Mont Blanc, the pinnacle event of the series, takes place August 22-28, 2022, in Chamonix, France, and will be the first opportunity to catch a glimpse of CamelBak’s upcoming, cutting-edge Spring 2023 Run Collection.
