After recently announcing partnerships with top cycling jersey producer Castelli and leading nutrition brand Optimum Nutrition, Human Race isn’t showing any signs of slowing down in 2018. The leading events company has joined with innovative bike mechanics VONCRANK and PedalSure insurance to offer an even more comprehensive package to the thousands of people who take part in their races this year.

“After successfully signing agreements with Optimum, Soreen and Castelli at the end of 2017, we’re delighted to be kicking off the New Year in such a positive fashion by partnering with VONCRANK and PedalSure.
