The Paatuwaqatsi Run - Water is Life

Sponsorship

Below are the sponsors that have generously helped to put this event together:

	"Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water in the sea evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits. At some point during the earth's Jurassic era, a range of volcanoes erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Near the small town of Redmond, in central Utah, approximately 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, we carefully extract this salt from deep within the earth, and bring it to you in its pure, natural state–without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing. This is RealSalt®, full of flavor and natural goodness–the way salt was meant to be savored!" The above paragraph was taken from the "ABOUT" section of the Real Salt's web site located at http://www.realsalt.com/.
	Edward & Sons supplies innovative natural and organic vegetarian foods to stores throughout North America and the world. Since 1978, we have been guided by our motto, "Convenience without Compromise"™. Our products can be found under several brands and product groupings, such as Edward & Sons (convenient instant soups and crackers), Native Forest® (organic hearts of palm, a completely renewable resource that actually nurtures the rainforest), and Let’s Do . . . ® Organic (certified organic confections and fun snacks). The above paragraph was taken from the homepage of the Edwards & Sons' web site located at http://www.edwardandsons.com/.
	Vita Coco coconut water was the first 100% natural coconut water introduced in the US, Canadian and UK markets and continues to be the market leader in this rapidly expanding beverage category. Vita Coco coconut water is a better source of electrolytes than the leading sports drink and is all natural with no artificial ingredients. Vita Coco coconut water comes in four flavors: 100% pure coconut water, coconut water with pineapple puree, coconut water with passion fruit puree and coconut water with peach and mango puree. With nearly two bananas worth of potassium per serving, there is no better way to hydrate your body than an ice cold Vita Coco.

	The Buffalo Guys, LLC is a group of skilled buffalo ranchers who have joined forces to bring nature's finest buffalo meat to the marketplace. We believe we have a responsibility to our consumers and to the lands we steward to make each healthier by our actions.

[Joe Trailman]	Joe's gaiters are made of light weight, four-way-stretch Lycra. They are cool, breathable and very comfortable to wear. They attach on the front of your shoe to the front most shoelace via a hook. The rear is held in place by a Velcro tab. The tension of the stretch material keeps them in place. You slip them on before putting on your shoes. Then just attach the hook and the Velcro tab to your shoe. The design makes it very easy to change shoes and socks and then reattach the gaiter. Velcro and glue for your shoes is included. Three sizes are available, small, regular and large. To insure proper fit please include shoe size with order. The available colors are currently: rich charcoal (black), gray, pebble, night green and plum. The colors change with availability of material.

	The human foot has toes to facilitate proper balance, posture, and gripping. Each series of Injinji patented tetratsoks are specifically designed to enable your entire foot to perform naturally and efficiently from your heel to five toes inside your shoe. In addition, the tetratsok is an excellent interface to prevent common foot problems from developing; blisters, hotspots, moisture buildup, and neuromas caused by improper footwear and athletic form. The transition has begun… use your toes. The above paragraph was taken from the homepage of the Injiji's web site located at http://injinji.com/.
	With a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, CLIF BAR is a moderate glycemic index food. What does this mean? Basically, you'll benefit from a steady increase in blood sugar levels followed by a gradual decline (sustained energy!). Know what that means? You keep going. Eat a CLIF BAR 1 – 2 hours before a workout or race, and you’ll avoid the sugar high and crash associated with refined ingredients and sweeteners. A CLIF BAR delivers the boost you need without unwanted crash and burn. You don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy a CLIF BAR, but with the extra energy a CLIF BAR provides you may find it hard not to be. The above paragraph was taken from the homepage of the Clif Bar's web site located at http://www.clifbar.com/.
