Rachel Entrekin Reflects on UTMB, Racing Without Pacers, And Being On Team Intuition

Singletrack's coverage of the 2026 UTMB World Series Finals is brought to you by Norda, Precision Fuel and Hydration, and Raid Research.

The single best way you can support our coverage in these next two weeks is by supporting our partners.

You can use our discount codes linked in the show notes of these episodes.

You can mention us in post-purchase surveys and a lot more.

All that good stuff.

It helps a ton.

A few notes here.

Obviously, Norda recently released the 055 shoe model.

This is a fantastic trail super shoe, uh, especially I think in the multi-day category and in these 100-mile mountain races.

Go check it out.

They've also got a new partnership being announced, I believe, on August 26th, so stay tuned on socials for that.

Precision Fuel and Hydration, our official nutrition partner of this coverage, they're gonna be set up all week in Chamonix as well.

They have a ton of athletes racing, including Caleb Olsen, Rachel Entrikin, Rachel Drake, Tyler Green, to name just a few.

And then finally, Raid.

They have a showroom here in Chamonix from August 24th through the 29th at Sanglard Sports.

Uh, that will include a range of 2027 prototypes that can be demoed to get your feedback on.

They're also selling their LF 5L vest, running belts, and current apparel line.

So yeah, thank you to Raid, Norda, and Precision Fuel and Hydration for making these entire two weeks possible.
