This year the award show was held on the 4th of June. We welcomed 150 excited guests in for drinks, food, and entertainment. DANISH ENDURANCE founder and CEO Nicolaj Due touched upon what exactly our mission as a company is and how we support athletes in their endurance efforts. Supporting and rewarding talented athletes and inspiring people to exercise and pursue a healthy lifestyle is at the foundation of our brand. As a brand, we believe the secret to achieving greatness lies in one’s ability to endure challenges, go the extra mile and commit to one’s goals. We wish to reward and recognize people that do exactly this. Therefore, we choose one of our ambassadors whom in the previous 2 years have achieved extraordinary accomplishments and progress, as the recipient of the DANISH ENDURANCE Award.
There were food trucks present to serve Italian and Mexican arrays of cuisine, and the bar was filled with drinks of preferred choices. All guests received goodie bags of DANISH ENDURANCE products and more. There was an opportunity to catch up with past acquaintances and form new relationships with friends and business partners. This resulted in some very exciting news for the DANISH ENDURANCE brand, which we will reveal in the coming weeks. [caption id="attachment_97460" align="aligncenter" width="685"]

Recipient of the award
As many of you may know, Rasmus Kragh recently became the first Dane ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest without artificial oxygen. Commonly, athletes undergo enormous amounts of pressure to perform. However, for Rasmus, with his life on the line with each and every step, he had to climb to an ultra-focused state and stay determined throughout. Luckily for Rasmus and everyone following him, the man is built of pure iron will. As a genuine, true, and talented athlete, Rasmus truly encompasses what we are as a brand and what we stand for. The mountain-climber was present at this year's DANISH ENDURANCE Award, reporting of his learnings and his recollection of the Mt. Everest journey.

To his challenges in nature, Rasmus comes across as a fearless competitor, regularly sacrificing his body to achieve a greater mental state. Accredited with intense mental strength and durability, Rasmus was able to do what no other Dane has ever done before and that only a few others have ever done. This is why Rasmus was awarded the DANISH ENDURANCE Award and the 25.000 DKK prize.
