Cirque Series Mountain Racers Powered by Nature

    August 8, 2025

    The Cirque Series is the premier mountain running race series in the U.S., taking place at some of the most stunning locations in the country. Featuring steep-and-challenging courses, these races push athletes to their limits with big climbs, thrilling descents, and breathtaking scenery.

     

    Nature's Sunshine is proud to be the Title Sponsor of the 2025 Cirque Series—alongside our friends at La Sportiva—and we’re here to fuel performance and recovery at the highest level.

     

    FUELING THE MOUNTAIN TEAM WITH POWER BEETS

     

    Our very own Nature’s Sunshine Mountain Team athletes rely on Power Beets for both race-day performance and faster recovery. Why? Because Power Beets combine the natural endurance-boosting benefits of beetroot with circulation-supporting herbs to give athletes a substantial edge.

     

     

    THE SCIENCE BEHIND POWER BEETS

     

    • Better Circulation of Oxygen: Beets are rich in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide—helping blood vessels relax and improving oxygen delivery throughout the body. Nature's Sunshine sources beetroot from Tibet, as these beets deliver the highest concentration of natural nitrate.

  1. Increased VO₂: VO₂ (maximal oxygen uptake) measures how much oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. The higher your VO₂, the more efficiently your body can convert oxygen into performance—critical for mountain running where every breath counts.
  2. Altitude Advantage: At high altitudes, oxygen is scarce. Improved blood flow means muscles get the oxygen they need to keep pushing hard, mile after mile.

    FRED WOLTMAN: LEADING THE CHARGE

     

    Nature's Sunshine athlete Mckennon "Fred" Woltman is currently ranked number one overall in the Cirque Series Pro Division, on track to win the coveted “PEAK FREAK” buckle and $1,500 cash prize. Fred has made Power Beets a consistent part of his training and race-day nutrition plan.

     

    "For the past month and a half I have started taking Power Beets daily—first after workouts and before bed. Then I learned about the benefits of using it 15 minutes before a workout, and it has been doing wonders for me since adding it into my training! I feel better during the workout and during the recovery process afterwards. Today I had a 2-hour session of 4×(2x800m and 1×1600m), totaling 16.5 miles. I powered through the whole session on a single bottle of Power Beets and Brain Edge before starting—never felt a dull moment and was instantly energized from the beginning!"

     

     

    FUEL FOR EVERY MOUNTAIN FRIEND

    So far this season, every Cirque Series racer (and spectator) has had the chance to try both Power Beets and Brain Edge.

     

    WHY BRAIN EDGE?

     

    Brain Edge supports natural energy, mental clarity, and fast brain-to-body communication—helping runners stay focused on technical descents, maintain their pace, and push through mental fatigue when the trail gets tough.

    Ready to Put It to the Test?

     

    Follow Mckennon "Fred" Woltman and the Cirque Series on Instagram, join the Nature's Sunshine Strava Club, and see for yourself what Power Beets and Brain Edge can do for your performance. See you on top of the next peak!
