On June 1, runners are rising up for healthier air. Communities around the world will gather to run laps up local peaks while raising money for clean-air research and advocacy. Do you like the idea of advocating for clean air while giving your legs a good old-fashioned thrashing?

One of our guiding principles at RUFA is to help educate on air quality issues and how living and playing in high AQI can have a detrimental effect on our health. So, how do you best measure the current AQI??

We have found huge value in utilizing sensors to get hyper-local data(both inside and outside our homes) their maps also allow you to see all the data collected by the over 35,000 sensors around the world.

We have partnered with to set sensors at the base area and the summit at our races so runners have access to the AQI on race day.

In addition, if you’d like to purchase a sensor of your own, Purple Air will donate 10% of every sale to RUFA, while also giving you 10% off. Just use code: RUFA at checkout.

“It’s a dangerous business, Morty, going out your door.”

Some 60-70 miles last weekend (my watch must’ve been bumped or maybe I just hallucinated harder than I thought because their race bib tracking said 71 dang miles) and a 2nd place 24 hour podium finish at & Staunton Rocks race. Your boy is not a fast runner so getting in the top 3 is definitely a surprise. And this one hurt but I’ll take it! Improvements over last year despite mile 1 & 7 being a sheet of glass smooth ice; and I got this sweet new mug from it all.

RUFA, or , is an endurance mountain challenge dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the improvement of air quality, particularly for communities residing along the Wasatch Front. The event involves ascending peaks in areas where air pollution is a significant issue, symbolizing the journey from polluted, smog-filled air to cleaner, healthier environments at higher altitudes.

UltrAspire deeply resonates with RUFA’s mission of advocating for cleaner air and healthier environments. As a brand committed to promoting outdoor activities and endurance sports, UltrAspire recognizes the critical importance of clean air for athletes and individuals alike. Just as RUFA aims to minimize its footprint on the trails while maximizing its impact on nonprofit organizations fighting for cleaner air, UltrAspire aligns with the goal of supporting initiatives that prioritize environmental sustainability and health.

As one of the brands actively involved in supporting RUFA, UltrAspire is dedicated to spreading awareness about the effects of air pollution and the significance of advocating for improved air quality. Through our partnership with RUFA and other like-minded organizations, we aim to amplify the message of environmental stewardship and encourage individuals to contribute to the cause.
