MegaHike 2012 – Winning Team – Neverest!
What is the MEGAHIKE Challenge? Its an endurance challenge, teams of 4 trekkers set off at day break ( 4.30am) and have 24 hours to complete the 50 mile route. But to beat MEGAHIKE teams need to beat the sun and complete the 50 mile route before the sun sets (17 – 18 hours).
This monster hike is set in the heart of the Pennines starting and finishing from Hollingworth Lake in Littleborough. MEGAHIKE is one of the toughest team challenges physically and mentally as they trek along sections of the ‘backbone’ of England, the Pennine Way. The teams climb 7000ft to complete the 5o miles.
MEGAHIKE, raisesl funds for MedEquip4Kids, the North of England’s leading charity that supports children in and out of hospital. Medequip4kids provide sick and injured children with the best medical and play equipment.
Congratulations to the winning team Neverest who completed the course in 17 hours and were the only team to beat the sun!. A great achievement in wet conditions, they came home 60 mins ahead of the 2nd placed team. Through the challenge they were using the Herbalife24Prolong isotonic and carbohydrate endurance drink to sustain their energy levels. Hydration with electrolytes and calories are key during such an endurance event. Team Neverest raised over £1800 for MedEquip4Kids.

Prolong Used By Team SpiderTech Powered by C10
Team spidertech is a UCI Professional Continental cycling team based in Canada that participates in UCI Continental Circuits races. The team riders will be fueled with the new Herbalife24 sports performance line, which includes Formula 1 Sport, Hydrate, Prepare, Prolong, Rebuild Endurance, Rebuild Strength, and Restore.
SpiderTech will compete in the upcoming USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado, as well as having raced in the Amgen Tour of California, two of the biggest cycling stage races in the U.S. In addition, SpiderTech has 100 racing days planned across Europe. With a full-range of sports nutrition products, Team SpiderTech riders will have an optimal pre-race meal, hydration, on-the-bike fuel, and multiple recovery options with Herbalife24. Riders have absolute confidence in the products since every batch of product is certified and tested by BSCG (Banned Substances Control Group, www.bscg.org) for illegal performance-enhancing substances.
“Herbalife had a deep understanding of athletes’ nutritional needs when formulating these products,” says Steve Bauer, Director Sportif, and Olympic medalist who wore the famed Maillot Jaune (Yellow Jersey) in the Tour de France in 1988 and 1990. “The product diversity suits all of our riders’ needs.” Team SpiderTech also hails the fact that the Herbalife24 products do not contain any artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. “It’s something a lot of our riders have been advocates for,” says Ian McLagan, team manager. In addition to the Herbalife24 line, Herbalife offers a wide array of other supplements including heart health products ranging from omega-3 fish oils to joint health support.
SpiderTech powered by C10 team soigneur comments that “the riders love the recovery products, and on cold days, we even serve them warm, something they really look forward to.” Rider Guillaume Boivin, who finished 7th at Amgen ToC stage 4, said, “Herbalife24 Prolong really helped me have good sensations at the end of the stage. I had good feelings in my legs, and I was able to smash the hammer down in the sprint.”
