Phun Bar is Getting Out There This Summer

races, markets, and a whole lot of phlying around Colorado

Sitting still has never really been Jason's thing.

This spring and summer, Phun Bar is showing up in a big way across Colorado, from ultra races to farmers markets to industry trade shows. If you want to find us in the wild, here's your map.

Jason's Race Calendar

The Phounder himself is lacing up for two events this season... fueling with Phun Bars the whole way.

May 23
Golden, CO
The format is simple and brutal: run a 4.17-mile loop every hour until only one person is left standing. No set distance. No set finish time. Just you, the clock, and your willingness to keep going. Jason is toeing the line on May 23rd in Golden.
July 31–Aug 1
Fort Collins to Steamboat Springs, CO
This one's a team adventure. The Wild West Relay is a 200-mile point-to-point run across Colorado, starting at the Budweiser Brewing Plant in Fort Collins and finishing at Steamboat Springs Ski Resort. Teams of up to 12 runners cover mountain passes, open spaces, and everything in between over two days. Jason will be out there with his crew. Follow along on Instagram @phunbar for updates.

Come Find Us

Not running with Jason? No problem. We're also showing up as a sponsor and vendor at races, markets, and expos across the Front Range.
