We're thrilled to announce that Elite Sports is joining the Sparks Backyard Ultra as an official sponsor for our June 2026 race. And, they're donating premium Duffel Bags as race prizes!
About Elite Sports
Elite Sports is a premium athletic gear company specializing in BJJ and MMA equipment. With over 1,000,000 athletes served and more than 20,000 five-star reviews, they've built their reputation on creating durable, high-quality gear that performs under the toughest conditions.
Why Elite Sports + Ultrarunning?
The connection is simple: toughness. Just like fighters who train for hours and demand gear that won't fail, ultrarunners need equipment built to last. Elite Sports creates products for athletes who refuse to compromise on quality.
The Monster Duffel Bags
Elite Sports has generously donated their high quality Duffel Bags as prizes for our June race.
These aren't your average gym bags; they're built with:
Heavy-duty construction and reinforced stitching
Multiple compartments for organization
Separate shoe compartment
Ventilated sections to prevent odor buildup
Spacious design perfect for race gear, crew supplies, and travel
Whether you're packing nutrition, extra shoes, headlamp, fresh clothes, or crew instructions, these bags provide the durability and organization ultrarunners need.
The Giveaway
Elite Sports has donated a limited number of premium duffel bags that will be awarded as prizes at the Sparks Backyard Ultra in June 2026. Winners will be announced on race day!
