Mountain Khakis, a mountain-inspired lifestyle apparel brand known for its “Best Damn Khakis,” is teaming up with BADASS Dash, the Ultimate Adventure Race and Obstacle Course Challenge benefiting Autism Speaks, as both a marketing partner and outfitter of the live event crew.
“When searching for a both a marketing partner and authority on outfitting our staff & event crew for this year, our CEO came across the MK Soul Statement which states Inside us all exists an adventurous soul – a wild heart that is called from nature to live authentically and free from modern society. For many outdoor and mountain enthusiasts pure freedom and rugged adventure has become a way of life. Mountain Khakis were developed specifically for this lifestyle,” said Race Director for BADASS Dash Brian Sharenow, “From the moment we read this message, we all felt the synergy between our companies and knew there was not a better fit.”
Mountain Khakis will sponsor 2014 BADASS Dash events in the U.S. and Canada, including the GoPro Mountain Games in Vail, CO on June 7th. BADASS Dash obstacles include at least thirty-six features with names such as “Australian Back Crawl”, “Human Car Wash” and “Sedan Stack”. There is also a “K9 Obstacle Course”.
“This partnership is a perfect match on many levels,” said Erin Hoffarth, marketing manager for Mountain Khakis. “We're proud to support BADASS Dash's mission of raising awareness for Autism Speaks. And while participants are pushing their physical limits with the demanding course, they're having FUN in the outdoors. It speaks directly to our Work Hard, Play Harder philosophy!”
Components of this partnership will include cross-promotional opportunities between both companies, apparel prizing for BADASS Dash competitors and raffle giveaways at the live events. Additionally, Mountain Khakis is outfitting the BADASS Dash crew as they construct and build the obstacle course.
