With a new series of hydration packs out this spring and a relatively new location in Sacramento, we thought it’d make sense combine those things and get involved with a local community race or two (local being the Bay Area up to Tahoe, the beauty of being in
between the coast and the mountains).
Thus, Gregory is now a sponsor of the Big Blue Adventure Series, a group of 20 multi-sport races and events in central/northern California, Oregon and even Idaho that started last month and run through September (OK, we’ve got a loose definition of local here in the Western U.S.).
These kinds of races are great motivational tools, whether your goal is to get out there and get in shape by training for an event, or whether you’re a more serious competitive athlete. Either way, regional events like these are awesome outdoor community builders. And they’re a great way to train for a goal. More than anything, though, they’re a great way to combine fun, exercise and being outdoors. And that’s always the point, right?
Big Blue’s even posted some training tips for people looking get into multi-sport racing, so there - no excuses not to get out there.


Great news — adventure racing is the best sport that most people know very little about! I’ve seen a few Gregory packs at races (often the Advent Pro), but not nearly as many as there could be. Smart move.
