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.”
