Powerbar Provides Emergency Supplies for Midlands XC Champs

Patterson Training and Powerbar have stepped up as last-minute event sponsors for the Midland XC Champs this Sunday (August 3rd), after the existing sponsor pulled out.

Organisers Nadine Spearing and James Hampshire were left with no prizes for their Championship event after the last minute decision this week, and called on Andy Patterson and Jenn O'Connor of Patterson Training to help out.

Nadine, who is a Patterson Training client, finalised the new Powerbar deal with Jenn today (Friday).

Powerbar are sponsors of the Altura Patterson Training race team, and also sponsored Hit the North, a 12 hour race in Manchester three weeks ago, giving out free Performance Sports Drink to every competitor.

Says Jenn, "when Nadine called and said they needed help with prizes, I knew Powerbar would do everything they could. It's difficult to get product delivered at such short notice, but we have pulled together everything we can."

Each competitor will receive a free bottle of Powerbar Performance Sports Drink at sign-on, with Powerbar prize packs for the winners.
The Midland Champs is the third and final round in the hugely popular Midlands Series, and has nearly 300 pre-entries. Pre-entries are now closed, but entries will be accepted on the day. The event is at Sherwood Pines, which has been host to several National Series events. For more information please visit www.xcracer.com.
