UESCA is pleased to announce Final Surge as the presenting sponsor of the 2023 Ultrarunning Coach Conference (https://ultraconference.uesca.com). The conference will be held at The Antlers Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado from September 29th – October 1st. The conference will be headlined by renowned ultrarunning coach and author, Jason Koop and will bring together top experts across a wide range of topics specific to ultrarunning and the business of coaching.
While the conference is open to coaches and non-coaches alike, the conference not only has sessions related to athletic performance but business as well. As such, having Final Surge as the presenting sponsor is a perfect match.
“UESCA is thrilled to have Final Surge as the presenting sponsor of the conference. A lot of our coaches use Final Surge as their coaching platform due to its features, great customer service, and ease of use,” said Rick Prince, founder of UESCA. “Given that the conference will have a large coach presence, having Final Surge as the presenting sponsor is a perfect fit.”
“This is especially exciting for Final Surge given the pre-release of our new Coaching Business suite of features” said Tim Surface, co-founder of Final Surge. “Our platform now supports integrated payment solutions for coaches, digital waivers, and onboarding questionnaires. Final Surge is now the all-in-one solution for the training, communication, and the business side of coaching. This fits perfectly with the goal of UESCA’s conference and we’re proud to be part of it.”
