sponsored events<br />
Event sponsorship requests for the 2013 season have been rolling in. Based<br />
on the requests received to date, it seems that this time of year is dominated<br />
by ultra running events, as evidenced by a partial list to the right of <strong>Hammer</strong><br />
<strong>Nutrition</strong>-sponsored races in February and March. (There will definitely be<br />
more to come.) However, that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy supporting other<br />
endurance sports as well . . .<br />
• We’re sponsoring all of the races in the USSSA Dion Snowshoe Championship<br />
Qualifying Series, which began in December. These races continue into February,<br />
culminating with the National Championship on March 15-17. See www.<br />
snowshoeracing.com for more details.<br />
• There are still a few Nordic skiing events happening, with the premier one being<br />
the American Birkebeiner (www.birkie.com), on February 23. “The Birkie” is the<br />
largest, most prestigious cross country ski marathon in North America, and HEED<br />
is the official sports drink again this year.<br />
• A few <strong>Hammer</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong>-sponsored mountain bike races, road cycling events, and<br />
triathlons have already taken place, and more requests for sponsorship of these<br />
particular sports are coming in daily.<br />
Because of the time gap between the completion of this article and the time you<br />
read it, it’s guaranteed that our events calendar will contain MANY more races than<br />
those mentioned above and listed to the right. Every day we receive requests from<br />
event directors for <strong>Hammer</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong> product support, which means we’re constantly<br />
updating our events calendar on the website. So keep checking www.hammernutrition<br />
.com/events for more information on <strong>Hammer</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong>-sponsored events. Chances are<br />
there will be one near you!<br />
