Montane Dragon’s Back Race® announces new partnership with Supernatural Fuel

The Montane Dragon’s Back Race® is delighted to welcome the sports nutrition brand Supernatural Fuel as a new partner brand for the 2022 event.

Supernatural Fuel is a great fit for the Montane Dragon’s Back Race®, as not only has their founder, David O’Brien, completed the race himself, but four of their ambassadors, Sabrina Verjee, Damian Hall, Jasmin Paris and Galen Reynolds, have done extremely well in previous editions - Galen Reynolds was even the overall winner in 2019.

David O’Brien, the founder of Supernatural Fuel said:

“We are thrilled to be sponsoring the 2022 Dragon's Back Race. Supernatural Fuel and Ourea Events share similar values in wanting to minimise the impact on the environment of their businesses and help individuals realise their full potential by providing experiences and products that help them to do that. We hope our fuel will be helping competitors get to that finish line - keeping the calories going in over such a long race is a critical factor for all runners.”    

He continued, “We are very excited to be supporting the Dragon's Back Race this year and look forward to watching the intrepid racers step up to the challenge in the Welsh mountains this September.”

Shane Ohly, Race Director of the Dragon’s Back Race, is excited to bring Supernatural Fuel on board, as he uses their products himself. He commented:

“We are really delighted to be announcing the new partnership with Supernatural Fuel. We know that David really understands the massive demands placed on participants at our events because he has completed the Dragon’s Back Race in 2019. The sustainability credentials of Supernatural Fuel are superb with an option to recycle used pouches. The fuel is tasty and healthy and aligns perfectly with our overarching sustainability strategy because it is vegan and vegetarian.”

“Personally, I have found that the more wholesome nature of Supernatural Fuel products has helped to settle my stomach as nausea sets in when working hard and perhaps over doing it on the sugar and caffeine! It really has been a game changing moment when I’ve thought that I’ll struggle to eat because of nausea, and a pouch of Supernatural Fuel has settled that feeling and allowed me to continue working hard.”

This marks the first of several non-exclusive relationships with sports nutrition brands that will be announced over the coming months, all of which will be based on what the Ourea Events team personally use on their mountain adventures. We are absolutely delighted to have Supernatural Fuel on board.
