TAM­PA, Fla. (Dec. 12, 2023) – Rock ​‘n’ Roll Run­ning Series is excit­ed to announce a new, mul­ti-year part­ner­ship with FitVine Wine.

FitVine Wine was cre­at­ed in 2015 by friends who saw a gap in the mar­ket for great-tast­ing wines that bet­ter fit their active and bal­anced lifestyle. With a focus on craft­ing deli­cious, sus­tain­ably pro­duced wines that deliv­er key well­ness ben­e­fits, FitVine wines have zero sug­ar, low sul­fites, and tan­nins, full alco­hol, are gluten-free, and have less than 125 calo­ries per 5oz serv­ing. They are designed for those who want great wine with­out unnec­es­sary ingre­di­ents or compromises. 

“FitVine wine is all about bal­ance and the belief that you shouldn’t have to choose between things you love — whether it’s crush­ing a PR or enjoy­ing a deli­cious glass of zero-sug­ar, full-fla­vor wine. We also believe wine should be fun and cel­e­brate liv­ing your best life, so part­ner­ing with a like-mind­ed brand like the Rock ​‘n’ Roll Run­ning Series to bring FitVine to run­ners across the coun­try feels like the per­fect pair­ing,” said Blaire Fras­er, Vice Pres­i­dent Mar­ket­ing, FitVine Wines. ​“We’re so excit­ed to be the offi­cial cel­e­bra­tion part­ner of the Rock ​‘n’ Roll Run­ning Series and can’t wait to sup­port them in their mis­sion to Bring Fun to the Run.”

Run­ners will get to enjoy FitVine Wine at the Rock ​‘n’ Roll Run­ning Series Health & Fit­ness Expo pri­or to each race as well as a toast to their suc­cess at the Fin­ish Line Fes­ti­val once their race is complete. 

“We’re excit­ed to wel­come FitVine Wine to the Rock ​‘n’ Roll Run­ning Series fam­i­ly as the Offi­cial Wine and Cel­e­bra­tion Part­ner. FitVine Wine offers our par­tic­i­pants just what they are look­ing for in a prod­uct that both com­ple­ments their train­ing and cel­e­brates their accom­plish­ments. We’re look­ing for­ward to toast­ing all ath­letes that cross a Rock ​‘n’ Roll fin­ish line this com­ing year with a cel­e­bra­to­ry glass of FitVine,” said Matt Wik­strom, Chief Part­ner­ships Offi­cer at The IRON­MAN Group.
