Since 2007, Boost Oxygen has been the #1 trusted brand worldwide. It’s from around the world that world class automobile and motorcycle racers descend upon America’s Mountain, Pikes Peak, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to compete in The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb – what is referred to as the toughest mountain race on the planet. This year marks the 96^th running of the ‘Race to the Clouds’ and the at-altitude setting makes for a unique and extremely challenging environment. Therefore, race teams choose to have Boost Oxygen on-hand to support them in their preparations and race day performance.

Tom Osborne, président de The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, déclare : "Votre produit est inestimable pour notre personnel et nos bénévoles. Je l'utilise tout le temps lorsque je suis sur la montagne. Merci de soutenir la course de côte internationale de Pikes Peak".

Rob Neuner, cofondateur et directeur général de Boost Oxygen, déclare : "Nous sommes habitués à ce que les athlètes d'élite aient une bouteille de Boost pour soutenir leurs performances. Ce qui rend cet événement de classe mondiale unique, c'est la combinaison d'athlètes d'élite conduisant et pilotant des machines de haute performance, dans un environnement très difficile en altitude, qui leur demande une concentration totale et des réflexes aiguisés comme des rasoirs pendant la course à une altitude de 14 115 pieds ; c'est incroyable ce qu'ils font."

M. Neuner ajoute : "Nous sommes extrêmement fiers de savoir que notre produit permet aux équipes d'assistance de travailler sur ces voitures et ces motos pendant la période précédant la course, au personnel et aux bénévoles d'être plus à l'aise pendant l'organisation de l'événement, et aux pilotes et aux motocyclistes de l'utiliser avant et immédiatement après, ce qui valide vraiment notre concept de rendre l'oxygène portable, pratique et abordable. Des équipes de course du monde entier ont précommandé Boost pour l'avoir sur place à leur arrivée dans le Colorado. C'est ce niveau d'engagement et d'utilisation qui nous a conduit à devenir un sponsor officiel, et nous sommes très fiers de l'être".

The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb takes place on Sunday, June 24^th and is preceded by a Fan Fest celebration in downtown Colorado Springs on Friday night, June 22^nd. At this free event, fans can get up close and personal to meet top PPIHC qualifiers, watch freestyle motocross jumpers perform in the middle of Tejon Street, taste and vote for the best chili from a Fire Fighter Chili Cook-off and experience so much more during this 10-block street party. In cooperation with Colorado-based Christy Sports, a ski and snowboard shop with locations through Colorado, Utah and Washington that chooses to exclusively carry Boost Oxygen, Boost will be available for purchase on-site at the Boost expo booth as many visiting fans do not fully appreciate or expect the negative effects of altitude. For many years, Team Ducati has integrated Boost into the race preparations:

About The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb:

The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), brought to you by Gran Turismo, also known as The Race to the Clouds, is an annual invitational automobile and motorcycle hill climb to the summit of Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain in Colorado, USA every year on the last Sunday of June. Founded in 1916 by Spencer Penrose (also the founder of The Broadmoor Hotel, Pikes Peak Highway and El Pomar Foundation), The Broadmoor PPIHC takes place on a 12.42 mile (19.99 km) public toll-road boasting 156 turns, while competitors climb 4,720 ft. (1,440 m.) from the 9,390 ft. (2,862 m.) Start Line at Mile 7 marker on the Pikes Peak Highway to the 14,115 ft. (4,300 m) Finish Line at the mountain’s summit.  As the drivers climb toward the summit, the thin air slows reflexes and saps competitor’s mental and muscle strength in addition to robbing internal combustion engines of up to 30% of the power they are capable of at the Start Line. Competitors and vehicles must be in top shape and condition simply to finish, let alone win. The race is self-sanctioned and is the most diverse one day motorsports event in the world with everything from Sidecars, Motorcycles, and 1,400+hp EV & Unlimited Racers being able to compete in the same event.

From Mike Lloyd, Store Manager, Christy Sports in Colorado Springs:

“We get a lot of customers who are from lower elevations and want to get up into the mountains – especially Pikes Peak. Boost Oxygen is a kind of security blanket to make them feel more comfortable and to lessen the chance of breathing problems at altitude. It’s a great tool to support people who otherwise might not be able to see the views from the top of Pikes Peak.”
