Motiv Sports and Vacation Races have announced a new collaboration with Grüns, appointing the brand as the Official Daily Nutrition Partner for several key North American mass participation events.
The partnership covers all 15 events in the Vacation Races series and three major Motiv Sports events: the Surf City Marathon, Bay to Breakers, and the Long Beach Marathon.
Throughout the 2026 season, thousands of runners, supporters, and spectators will have the opportunity to sample and learn more about Grüns’ daily nutritional gummies at event expos. These activations will also take place at US races, such as the Zion Half Marathon, the Yosemite Half Marathon, and the 2XU Long Beach Marathon, CA.
Grüns specialises in nutritional gummies that are designed to provide the benefits of greens powders and multivitamins in a travel-friendly format. Its Superfood Greens Gummies contain more than 60 ingredients, including whole-food fruits and vegetables, 21 essential vitamins and minerals, adaptogens, antioxidants, prebiotics, and 6g of fibre per serving.
Bryan Rickards, Commercial Sales Manager, North America, for Motiv Sports, said “Whether they’re a weekend warrior or an elite athlete, every individual who takes part in our events has made an investment in their health to reach the start line.
“Products like Grüns make it easy for them to fit more healthy habits into their busy lives, and arrive happier and more prepared at the starting line.”
According to Grüns, its ingredient profiles are supported by 35,000 research publications, focusing on benefits such as gut health, immunity, energy, and brain health.
Sam Temmins, Brand Manager at Grüns, said “Even the most dedicated runners have gaps in their nutrition. Working together with Motiv Sports and Vacation Races means that these athletes, whether everyday or elite, will have new tools to reach their health and fitness goals on and off the race course.”
Vacation Races, which was acquired by Motiv Sports in 2024, is an organiser of destination half marathons, ultra marathons, and trail festivals. Its events are typically set against the backdrop of national parks and scenic landscapes across North America.
Motiv Sports has a portfolio of 11 endurance races and aims to create inclusive environments that inspire participants through movement and community engagement.
