Pro Trailrunner

Zachary Friedley is a professional trail runner and one of the world’s only above-knee limb difference “trailbladers” racing at the highest levels.

Across 4 different continents, he’s completed UTMB World Series races, UTMB MCC and ETC, has 2 finishes at famed race Sierre Zinal and made the summit of a 6000m peak (wearing a running blade) while also leading efforts to expand access and opportunity for Para athletes through racing, advocacy, and Born to Adapt.

I've used every race fuel brand there is, but PF&H changed the game for me when I found them. I can use the entire product line up for different endurance events, from fast marathons to long mountain races, and many different training blocks.
