At a Glance:Ten races. Ten mountain venues. Thousands of feet climbed and countless reasons to celebrate. As the 2026 Cirque Series comes to a close, Nature's Sunshine is looking back on an unforgettable season and celebrating Nature's Sunshine Mountain Team athlete Jamie Brusa, your 2026 Cirque Series Overall Pro Champion.
TEN MOUNTAINS. ONE INCREDIBLE SEASON.
What a ride.
From the forests of New Hampshire to the ridges of Alaska, the 2026 Cirque Series gave us an entire summer full of big climbs, fast descents, wild weather, incredible views and even better people.
We watched course records fall. We ran through clouds and heat and even down snow. We saw returning champions, first-time racers and athletes of all ages discovering grit and greatness when the trail pointed up.
The Mountain Team here at Nature's Sunshine loves being part of this community.
CONGRATULATIONS, JAMIE!
And now for the biggest congratulations of the season:
Nature's Sunshine athlete Jamie Brusa is officially the 2026 Cirque Series Overall Pro Champion.
Montana's own Jamie Brusa showed up all season long.
She raced from coast to coast, taking on wildly different mountains, conditions and courses while consistently putting herself among the strongest women in the field.
No doubt about it, she's strong, she's fast, and she adapts: We watched her stand on Pro podiums at Snowbird, Alyeska, Alta, A'Basin and Mt. Baldy. At Grand Targhee, she only missed another podium by a single second!
But Jamie's season was about more than any one finish.
Race after race, she battled tough terrain and competition. When the points were counted at the end of the season, her consistency and determination landed her at the top.
Jamie Brusa, 2026 Cirque Series Overall Pro Champion.
We couldn't be prouder to have Jamie representing the Nature's Sunshine Mountain Team. Congratulations, Jamie. Thanks for inspiring us all!
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PEAKS
A season like this doesn't happen simply because there are mountains to run.
It takes people.
From all of us at Nature's Sunshine, thank you to Cirque Series founder Julian Carr for continuing to bring people together in the most spectacular mountain environments in the country.
Thank you to race directors Steve White and Tom Hooper and the entire Cirque Series crew for the enormous amount of work that goes into turning 10 mountains into 10 unforgettable races.
Thank you to the photographers who climbed, hiked, waited and found just the right places on the mountain to capture the moments the rest of us might otherwise have missed.
Thank you to the volunteers who arrived early, stayed late, pointed runners in the right direction, handed out what was needed and brought energy to every course and finish line.
And most of all, thank you to the racers. The Pros chasing podiums. The runners chasing personal goals. The first-timers wondering what they had gotten themselves into. The friends who traveled together. The humans who crossed the finish line smiling and the ones who had to dig a little deeper to get there.
You made the season what it was.
WHY WE KEEP SHOWING UP
Nature's Sunshine believes in supporting people who are working to feel their best and live their best lives.
For more than 50 years, we've looked to nature for guidance and modern science for understanding, creating effective food supplements and formula options to support well-being in body and mind.
That's part of what makes the Cirque Series community such a natural fit for us. These race weekends are full of people pursuing their own version of better, whether that means a podium, a personal record, a first summit or simply a physical day outside.
We're proud to support that pursuit.
UNTIL NEXT SEASON
Ten races later, the finish line has finally arrived.
To Julian, Steve, Tom, the photographers, volunteers, partners, mountain communities and every racer who lined up with us this year: thank you for an incredible 2026 Cirque Series.
And one more time for our champion:
Congratulations, Jamie Brusa.
We'll see you back in the mountains.
