February 28, 2020

Cool, CA – NorCalUltras is excited to announce its continuing sponsorship with GU Energy Labs for the 12^th year. This long-time partnership has supported the Way too Cool 50K and American River 50 Mile Endurance Run, which are two of the most premier endurance events in the U.S.

“We are thrilled to partner with the leader in race nutrition,” said NorCalUltras Race Director, Julie Fingar. “We believe in providing the best race fuel for our runners, which is why we provide GU gels and ROCTANE Energy Drink at all aid stations for both WTC50K and AR50.”

On Saturday, March 7, 2020, more than 800 ultra runners will travel from around the globe to race in the 31^st Annual The Way Too Cool 50K Endurance Run (WTC50K). The 50K race is known as one of the most popular trail and ultra-running endurance events in the U.S. Runners compete at Olympic levels to beat their personal and race record course times.

“GU Energy Labs is proud to be long time supporters of Way Tool Cool and American River 50,” said GU Energy Labs Experiential Marketing Manager, Allison Foster. “Still family owned and located in Berkeley, CA, we are thrilled to say we have been fueling racers for over 25 years!”

This year, GU Energy Labs is adding their TerraCycle Pledge to the partnership with WTC50K and AR50. GU works with TerraCycle to convert nutrition wrappers from all brands into tools, park benches, and more. Both races have taken GU’s TerraCycle pledge to work to keep the race trails pristine.

“Together we will collect and ship all sports nutrition wrappers from on course to TerraCycle,” said Foster.
