At 226ERS, we have always felt a special connection with the Zegama-Aizkorri race: it is an epic event full of emotion and effort, and the values that it represents are ones that we are proud to share. We once again provided energy for the event and the runners by distributing products such as High Energy gels, Isotonic Gel, High Fructose, Race Day bars and Hydrazero.
Our commitment continues with a formula that promotes conscious nutrition: natural ingredients, palm oil-free, gluten-free and vegan options.
Malen Osa and Andreu Blanes shone in Zegama
🥈 Andreu Blanes
The Valencian took an early lead and maintained it throughout the race. He maintained this pace for kilometres until Elhousine Elazzaoui overtook him. However, he managed to pull himself together and crossed the finish line in second place with a time of 3 hours, 50 minutes and 53 seconds.
Blanes recounted his experience: “Although I fell and got cramps, I had a great time and suffered a lot… I can only be grateful and enjoy these emotions”. He also consumed about 405 g of carbohydrates during the race, in the form of 10 gels and 2 liters of water.
🥉 Malen Osa
The young runner from Guipuzcoa demonstrated her resilience once again, achieving her second consecutive podium in Zegama with a time of 4 hours, 31 minutes and 18 seconds.
Malen admitted that she had cramped up on the downhills but managed to recover and fight her way up to the podium. She is a shining example of strength and resilience.
A sponsorship with the spirit of the mountains
The 226ERS-Zegama 2025 partnership has been a resounding success: our products supported the athletes in their challenge and our brand ambassadors, Malen and Andreu, excelled, winning silver and bronze respectively. Their approach to nutrition and mindset perfectly reflects our values of performance, quality and effort.
