Super Patch, an innovator in drug-free wearable wellness technology, has announced an official partnership with Spartan Race at the 2026 SLO CAL Spartan Trifecta Weekend, scheduled for November 7-8 at Santa Margarita Ranch in California. The collaboration brings together two brands focused on challenging limits and embracing innovation, with Super Patch set to introduce Spartan athletes and spectators to two of its wearable products: the BOOST energy patch and the VICTORY athletic performance patch.
The partnership matters because it places a drug-free, wearable approach to energy and athletic performance directly in front of one of the most demanding endurance communities in obstacle-course racing. Both products use Super Patch's proprietary Vibrotactile Technology (VTT), which features tactile patterns designed to interact with sensory receptors in the skin without delivering active drug ingredients. The BOOST energy patch is designed to support up to 24 hours of clean energy without caffeine or stimulants, while the VICTORY patch is designed to support strength, power and balance, with benefits lasting up to 24 hours. Together, they offer athletes complementary options to explore as part of training, preparation and competition routines.
"Athletes know that progress is built long before race day," said Jay Dhaliwal, CEO of Super Patch. "We're excited to bring the BOOST energy patch and VICTORY athletic performance patch to the Spartan Race and DEKA communities and introduce a different way to think about energy and athletic performance. This partnership connects innovation with individuals striving to challenge themselves and explore their limits."
As part of its SLO CAL activation, Super Patch will award a total of $15,000 in cash prizes to the top five male and top five female elite finishers in each of the Sprint (5 km), Super (10 km) and Beast (21 km) races. The awards recognize the preparation, dedication and competitive spirit required to perform at the elite level, though individual prize amounts and eligibility details will be communicated through the event organizers.
The SLO CAL Spartan Trifecta Weekend brings together athletes of different backgrounds and abilities to challenge themselves across rugged terrain, demanding obstacles and three race distances. That shared philosophy is at the heart of the partnership. "We're excited to partner with Super Patch because we share a belief that people are capable of more than they think," said De Sena. "Spartan is about challenging limits, and Super Patch is bringing a fresh approach to how athletes think about energy and performance. Together, we're creating new opportunities for our community to discover what's possible, both on the course and beyond it."
Throughout the weekend, Super Patch will connect directly with athletes and spectators through on-site product discovery, sampling and athlete-led content. Visitors to the Super Patch festival tent will have the opportunity to meet the team, experience the BOOST and VICTORY patches, and learn how Super Patch technology may fit into their broader training and wellness routines.

While SLO CAL marks an important moment for the partnership, the connection between Super Patch and the Spartan community extends beyond a single race weekend. Athletic achievement isn't built on race day alone; it's built through every training session, every challenge and every decision to keep moving forward. The partnership signals a growing intersection between wearable wellness technology and competitive endurance sports, offering athletes new ways to think about preparation and performance.
