Ryan's sponsors

A very big Thank You to the following who make my being able to compete at various races and train at the level I do, a pleasure!

Velocity Sports Lab and Mining Group Axis House

Velocity Sports Lab is a projected training facility which has been financed by Mining Group Axis House, this has been designed specifically for my needs and eventually will be also open to the general public.

The training facility will include the latest fitness and strength equipment, specialised training equipment for training for ultra and extreme endurance events.

A huge thank you to Axis House and Velocity Sports Lab, my title sponsor for 2010 and beyond. Competing in a sport where there is no prize money but race entry fees can cost up to $10 000, would not be possible without the generous financial support of Velocity Sports Lab.

Salomon

Salomon kit me out from head to toe with all equipment needed to train and compete in some of the most extreme foot races around the world. Salomon are known for making the best mountain sport equipment in the world and I am extremely grateful to have them on board. They also provide financial support in helping me cover the huge costs in competing in these events. Thanks Salomon!!

Oakley
Oakley provides me with latest casual and racing eye ware

Suunto
Suunto have recently come on board to provide me with the latest technology in wristop computers. The Suunto X 10 is awesome - the GPS system allows me to plot the routes that I run on Google Earth.

Hammer Nutrition
Provides me with nutritional fuels that keeps me going during training runs / races as well as recovery supplements to help my body recover after a hard training session or race.

The Imazine gear is very cool - the bracelets are light and I can train and race in them.

Since wearing the bracelets my recovery periods have been quicker enabling me to train that much harder the next day. Have a look at the new luminous colour range of bracelets!
