THE WEST LINE WINDER IS PRESENTED BY:
Laws Whiskey
Laws distills Colorado's finest whiskey with the mantra "Craft over commodity. Quality over quantity. Whiskey above all." This outstanding quality shows not only in their whiskey, but also in their people. If you haven't had a glass of Laws, then you're missing out.
As most of you know, Laws provides each runner with a 100ml bottle of their award winning whiskey. Beyond that Laws comes out to the finish line and slings cocktails and support us in a host of other ways.
Laws has been with the Freestone Endurance since before the High Lonesome 100 even had a name, and we can’t imagine the West Line Winder without them. Their steadfast and unlimited support can never be repaid, and we're beyond grateful to have them with us.
THE WEST LINE WINDER IS PROUDLY HOSTED BY:
14er Fest
14er Fest is an annual multi-sport mountain festival, featuring Off-Roading, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Fly Fishing, and Trail Running in Buena Vista, Colorado. At the heart of the festival you’ll find that 14er Fest seeks to join together a wide variety of trail users, including both motorized and non-motorized trail enthusiasts. Their vision, which aligns perfectly with ours, is to create a platform where all trail groups can recreate together and work together to keep trails open and maintained.
SUMMIT PARTNERS
Altra
Founded by runners and born out of the passion to make every run better, Altra’s philosophy is that running shoes shouldn’t hinder the foot's natural movement or position. From trail to road, Altra’s designs focus on balanced cushioning, a foot shaped toe box, and materials that won’t let you down on your adventures.
Not only that, but they are also the first shoe company to address the biological differences in men's and women's feet with an entire line of truly female specific shoes. Talk about a healthier lifelong love affair with running. No matter the terrain, Altra has a shoe that will get you from the start line to the finish line, smiling the whole way.
TREELINE SPONSOR
7000 Feet Running Co
No mountain town is complete without a local specialty running store, so when 7000 Feet opened its doors in early 2017 everyone was thrilled. A great store with even greater people, 7000 Feet has everything a runner needs. Locals can give you the beta on good trails and conditions, whilst providing you with the gear you'll need. Andrew (the owner) has been a huge help to the race, and we highly encourage all our runners to help support this amazing store.
Tailwind Nutrition
A brand which needs no introduction, we a thrilled to be serving runners the best caloric running drink on the market - Tailwind! A runner staple, this beverage will keep you moving from the starting gun to the finish line. With both caffeinated and decaf options, you can fuel and hydrate precisely throughout the race. Altitude can make even the most iron stomach soft, but luckily Tailwind’s balance of glucose/sucrose/electrolytes is tasty and easy on the stomach.
PRESENTING NON-PROFIT:
BV Singletrack Coalition
BVSC is a non-profit trail advocacy organization committed to collaborating with agencies, businesses, and locals in order to build, maintain, and steward sustainable trails for muscle-powered users. Many of the trails that the West Line Winder uses were built by BVSC and we are fundraising for their efforts. We’re hoping to raise $2,500 this year for them, and we appreciate your support! Please consider donating some sweat or dollars.
