North Vancouver-based Blonyx will be providing on-course hydration with their Hydra+ electrolytes at this year’s 5 Peaks Trail Running Series events across Canada.

Blonyx provides sports nutrition for athletes who train with intention—built on scientific research and real-food ingredients that support performance, recovery, and long-term athletic development when used consistently.

If you’re running a 5 Peaks Trail Running event this year, now is the time to start dialing in your nutrition and training.

5 Peaks is pleased to continue our longtime partnership with Tourism Revelsoke and Revelstoke Moutain Resort to host the Canadian Mountain Running Championships in 2027 and 2028. “It’s exciting to put Revelstoke on the map for mountain running, adding another feather in our cap for summer adventure opportunities. Hosting the Championships over two years allows us to build on the momentum created by 5 Peaks, which already draws competitive runners to tackle distances ranging from shorter climbs to demanding ultra-distance courses with significant elevation gain,” said Tourism Revelstoke Executive Director Meghan Tabor. “We’re also excited about strengthening our collaboration with them, whose national reach and experience organizing trail events across Canada make them a natural partner in delivering a high-calibre championship. Together, we can build an event that highlights both elite competition and community engagement, while showcasing Revelstoke’s terrain to a broader national audience.”

5 Peaks is proud to renew our partnership with Blonyx. Blonyx is a Canadian based sports nutrition company dedicated to creating high quality, research based sports nutrition products. Blonyx Hydra+ will be the on-course electrolyte beverage at all 5 Peaks Trail Running Series events this season. Blonyx Hydra+ is made with real-food ingredients like mango and passionfruit juice, coconut water, sea salt, and organic cane sugar to keep you hydrated and your muscles working from start to finish.

Your body has to keep up with your ambition, and that means fueling it the right way. At each of our 5 Peaks Trail Running events in 2024, we’ll be serving Blonyx Hydra+ on course as our official electrolyte drink.

Blonyx Hydra+ uses real-food ingredients like coconut water, fruit juice, organic cane sugar and sea salt that digest easily and help endurance athletes maintain an optimal level of hydration for performance.

As part of our commitment to the environment and in keeping with our tradition of 100% cup free events since 2016, 5 Peaks is proud to partner with UltrAspire - a world leader in hydration pack design - created by trail runners for trail runners.

5 Peaks is stoked to announce a new footwear partnership with La Sportiva for the 5 Peaks Trail Running Series. As an all-mountain brand, La Sportiva supports community-focused events that allow athletes of all levels to push their boundaries in beautiful natural settings. We can't think of a better footwear partner for our nationwide trail running series than La Sportiva. The stunning locations and variety of distances on offer are perfectly in line with La Sportiva’s mission of designing products that let you go where you dream to go, do what you dream to do and live how you want to live.

There is a lot that goes into play when preparing for a peak performance, but one of the keys is strategically planning your race calendar.  Reach your peak by racing when it counts. 

Base building isn’t sexy.  Some find it downright boring. However, those who build their base before beginning race specific training end up healthier and performing better when it counts.

Strength training, like running, should start with the basics. Building muscular strength and endurance can enhance running performance and injury resistance.
