CamelBak is providing free, freshly filtered water to the 50,000 attendees during the UTMB this August. CamelBak water stations will be located throughout the village and along the courses (5 refill points for all races).

A limited edition Quick Stow Flask as well as a limited edition Ultra Pro Vest, will feature UTMB logos and can be purchased at the UTMB shop or at the CamelBak booth in the expo area, where CamelBak will also be showcasing its 2018 Run Collection.
