We've very happy to have xact nutrition as our nutrition sponsor! Their products not only taste fantastic, but are in line with evidence-based sports nutrition practices (you won't find any keto bars here!). Our head coach knows a thing or 2 about sports nutrition, and as a team we will be including this often neglected focus into our training and racing.

So far, the FRUIT2 bars area big hit with athletes, and we are excited to try more products.
