Stellenbosch – The Savanna Origin of Trails Trail Run and MTB Experience, two of Stellenbosch’s most iconic off-road events, have partnered with Beet It Sport SA, the natural nitrate supplement most trusted by the world’s sporting elite.
“We are excited to welcome Beet It Sport SA as an official partner to both the Savanna Origin of Trails Trail Run and MTB Experience,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and founder of the events. “Beet It Sport naturally boosts sporting performance. Whether training or competing, trail runners and mountain bikers are guaranteed to see results. Put Beet It Sport SA to the test at the Savanna Origin of Trails Trail Run Experience (Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 June 2021) and Savanna Origin of Trails MTB Experience (Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 November 2021) and #BeetYourBest.”
Consisting of 98% concentrated beetroot juice and 2% lemon juice, the Beet It Sport Nitrate 400 shot is the only beetroot juice product on the market to deliver a consistent, adequate dose of dietary nitrate serving. In 2018, the International Olympic Committee concluded that dietary nitrate supplementation has been associated with up to: 25% increase in exercise time to exhaustion, 5% improvement in sprint performance and 3% increase in time-trial performance.
“It is great to see that sporting events are being planned again in South Africa,” says Jonathan Cartwright, Beet It Sport UK Specialist. “I am even more pleased to see that Beet It Sport SA has teamed up with two more iconic events. Ideal for athletes that are on the go, the Nitrate 400 shot is designed to be conveniently consumed in one quick hit, to naturally boost sporting performance. Professional teams in South Africa will certainly be in good company using Beet It Sport as the product is used by an extraordinarily high percentage of the elite sports world – including the world famous NN Running team and professional teams in UCI World Tour, Triathlon, Rowing, English Premier League, International Rugby Union, NFL, NBA and many more.”
