Lessons from the trails of the Mountain Ultra Trail (MUT) by the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) World Series
-
When it comes to endurance sports, performance relies on resilience, mental strength, and smart hydration. Stepping in as the hydration partner for wellness-conscious communities across South Africa, Oasis Water recently took its dedication to health, sustainability, and community support to the next level by backing the 2025 Mountain Ultra Trail (MUT) by UTMB, South Africa's premier trail-running event held in the rugged Outeniqua Mountains in George.
The MUT by UTMB is part of the renowned UTMB World Series and attracts elite athletes and trail enthusiasts from over 40 countries. The three-day festival, held in May, hosted more than 2,000 participants and featured races ranging from the 11km MUT Lite to the formidable 163km MUT Miler.
For Franchise Director Mynhardt Oosthuizen, the event was an opportunity to share Oasis' belief that “Water is the source of living better” while supporting athletes who push their limits in harmony with nature.
