CTS is one of the premier endurance sports coaching companies in the world and this partnership deepens the connection between both brands, as several UD-sponsored athletes, including 2018 Tarawera Ultramarathon winner Kelly Wolf, Skyrunning champion Hillary Allen, and Adidas professional Abby Mitchell are coached by CTS.

I am extremely picky about running gear. Ultimate Direction vests meet my every need as a mountain runner so I’m really excited to share UD at our training camps and through testimonials we’ll give to our international community.

–Jason Koop, CTS Director of Coaching and author of Training Essentials for Ultrarunning.

CTS training camps gives attendees the opportunity to eat, sleep, and train like a full-time athlete under the guidance of a professional coaching staff. Ultimate Direction will team up with CTS at camps in Lake Tahoe, Colorado Springs, Pisgah National Forest, Mont Blanc and more.
