Daybreak Announces ACG as Sponsor for Gorge Waterfalls

Dylan Bowman via the Freetrail newsletter:

Huge news from Freetrail and Daybreak Racing. We’re very excited to usher in a new chapter of Gorge Waterfalls, which starting in 2026, will be presented by All Conditions Gear (ACG)!
…
As part of this new chapter, we’re also excited to announce that Gorge Waterfalls will offer a $75k prize purse to top finishers across distances – an effort on our part, and commitment from ACG to invest in professional racing at this exciting moment for our sport. 

This certainly explains some backstory of what prompted Dylan and Tim to share their ideas and frustrations on the latest episode of Rest Day on Freetrail. Clearly there was something in the works they didn’t talk about.

Also:

For those who know the history of ACG, you’ll know it has a rich legacy. Born inside the walls of Nike, ACG has been one of the most influential outdoor brands of the last 50 years, blending trail-ready performance with street-driven style and design. 

Raise your hands if you agree with this statement and can tell me one product or sport they influenced over the past 50 years – Caleb Olson’s crochet grandma sweater (I mean radical airflow technology racing shirt) doesn’t count.
