CLIF BAR energy bars, are purposefully crafted with a blend of plant-based ingredients to keep you moving – whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro. Packed with carbs, fibre, and healthy fats, they’re designed to keep you energised and strong before or during your run, making them the perfect fuel for the Forest Runner challenge.

About Forest Runner
Forest Runner is a unique opportunity for runners to train, explore, and connect with nature while taking on a virtual 5k or 10k challenge - or both.
Hosted on Strava, this initiative encourages participants to experience the benefits of running in the beautiful forests managed by Forestry England. Whether new to running or an experienced athlete, participants can enjoy well-marked trails, set personal goals, and reap the mental and physical benefits of running in nature.
A partnership rooted in purpose
Sophie Loveday, Wellbeing Corporate Partnerships Manager at Forestry England:
“CLIF makes energy bars that are good for both people and the environment, using sustainable, plant-based ingredients. This fits perfectly with what Forest Runner is all about - helping people enjoy the health benefits of running in nature."
Anna Dutt-Duckwitz, Marketing Manager at CLIF BAR Europe:
“We are very pleased to have found such a matching collaboration for our brand CLIF with Forestry England. Our mission is to motivate our consumers to stay active, engage with the outdoors and choose wholesome and nutritional foods when being active to get the most out of it. We think that these values align strongly with the ones of Forestry England and are therefore very happy about this new partnership and looking forward to a successful Forest Runner challenge that will motivate people to be active in the outdoors”.
