US Military Endurance Sports

US Military Endurance Sports (USMES) is proud to announce a partnership with Essentia Water to help our troops, veterans, and their families to be fit for duty and fit for life.

Essentia supports the USMES mission of promoting endurance sports and healthy nutrition to our military community and will work with USMES military athletes to supercharge their hydration.  “Hydration is essential to long-term health and an active lifestyle.  We are excited to partner with a brand that shares our passion for helping people be their best,” said USMES Executive Director USAF Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Bill Jacobus.  “Our service members, veterans, and their families deserve the best products available, and for hydration, we believe Essentia water is it.” 

USMES works across the US and around the globe providing education, sports event, and equipment support for the American military community, including wounded and non-wounded veterans. Essentia will provide hydration support to the organization, including the 22 athletes comprising the USMES Elite Racing and Adventure Racing teams at various endurance events and to other members attending USMES camps. Essentia also plans to feature USMES athletes, starting with paracyclist Justin Widhalm, in its integrated marketing campaign which launched in May.

“Our company embraces overachievers who do extraordinary things every day and everyone at the USMES embodies this persona,” said Ken Uptain, CEO and founder of Essentia Water. “We are beyond thrilled to partner with the men and women of the armed forces and USMES, who protect our country and fiercely compete at nationwide endurance events.”

 

Headquartered in Bothell, Washington, Essentia Water LLC produces supercharged ionized alkaline water with a 9.5 pH or higher that’s better at rehydrating.¹ Pioneered in 1998, years ahead of industry trends, Essentia continues to be the #1 alkaline water brand sold nationally and the #1 selling bottled water in natural grocery stores.  Essentia Water is the only water included in the Physician’s Desk Reference and has been clinically shown to be better at rehydrating than a leading bottled water brand.¹ It’s available nationwide in approximately 50,000 retail locations, more than 90 military bases and on Amazon.  It can also be found in the main water or natural beverage section of most major grocery stores as well as in most health / natural food stores.
