Iowa Gravel Series

I think I’ve told this story before, but it’s worth repeating.

My first 100 mile race was in California. It was the Mega-Monster Enduro, part of the Low Key Hill Climb series in the bay-area. It was a beautiful day and I was somewhat prepared for a race that long, but I definitely underestimated my nutrition. Thankfully, at the half-way point, the organizers had an aid station with Hammer products and I loaded up.

I can’t remember if I had an actual negative split, but from memory it sure felt like it! Having something more than granola bars and Gatoraid to power me back to the start/finish line (course was an out and back) sure made the day better. Since then I’ve always had a fond place for Hammer products and have used Perpetuem on a number of my longer/bigger efforts around the world. The stuff works great and we’re super excited to have Hammer back for 2024 as a sponsor.

We’ll have gels and fizz tablets at the aid stations and in your swag bags. We’ll also have some Recoverite at the finish line, since folks have mentioned how much they liked that in 2022.

So, give Hammer some love on their social pages and get ready raise a bottle filled with HEED to all the racers and riders on the Iowa Gravel Series!
