Chicago, Ill. – Jan. 30, 2018 – Warrior Dash, the 5K obstacle course race that more than 3 million people have completed since 2009, has signed a multi-year agreement with fairlife, LLC, the Chicago based health food company that produces high quality milk-based products. This partnership allows fairlife to bring some new and unique experiences to the obstacle courses this year, including participation in the festival area with sampling and other fun activities for participants and spectators.
“We’ve noticed that even the youngest kids that come out to our events to watch their parents and older siblings participate want to join in on the muddy fun,” said Scott Howard, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Red Frog Events. “We thought, why not get them out there, too, to share the experience with the rest of the family through a fun, active area dedicated to them.”
New in 2018, each obstacle course location will feature the Warrior Dash Kids Training Grounds, presented by fairlife, and will feature mini obstacles and mud. Kids will receive a Warrior helmet to wear and take home. Ages 3-9 can partake in the action (adult supervision required at all times) and all-day access is $10 per child. Children 10 and up are eligible to register and run the main 5K Warrior Dash course.
“Fairlife has a portfolio of nutritious dairy products for everyone and good nutrition is such an important part of an active lifestyle. We’re absolutely thrilled to be working with them,” explained Howard about the new partnership.
Warrior Dash participants nationwide will be treated at the finish line to ice cold bottles of fairlife’s high protein recovery shake, Core Power, the Official Protein Beverage of Warrior Dash. Core Power is fueled by natural dairy protein from fairlife ultra-filtered milk to help build lean muscle and support healthy recovery. Kids that participate in the Warrior Dash Kids Training Grounds will be able to take a fun photo with their parents in the festival area and sample some of fairlife’s nutritious products, including 2% fairlife® ultra-filtered milk and the newly launched fairlife® DHA whole milk, ultra-filtered milk with 125mg DHA Omega-3 fatty acids to support brain health.
“Everyone at fairlife loves Warrior Dash because they do such a great job of promoting healthy lifestyles in fun ways, which goes hand in hand with what fairlife is all about,” said Anders Porter, VP of Communications for fairlife, LLC. “We’re excited to team up with them this year to enrich the lives of all kids, big and small, by encouraging them to eat well, exercise and have a blast on the obstacle course.”
Warrior Dash will kick off its 10th season in February 2018. To learn more, visit WarriorDash.com.
