MILPITAS, Calif.—Amazfit, a prominent name in the global smart wearables industry, has announced the appointment of ultra runner Rod Farvard as its latest athlete ambassador. This collaboration aims to showcase Amazfit’s advanced tracking capabilities, both on and off the trail, aligning with Farvard’s strategic approach to endurance racing.
Rod Farvard, known for his impressive endurance feats, will integrate Amazfit’s technology into his training and racing routines. The athlete’s journey from high school cross country to ultra racing has been fueled by a desire to overcome past setbacks, including a “Did Not Finish” (DNF) result that has driven him to conquer some of the world’s most challenging races. His accomplishments include the Western States 100, UTMB, and Moab 240, as well as setting a new Fastest Known Time on the John Muir Trail.
Farvard’s Endurance Journey and Amazfit’s Role
Farvard’s reliance on precise data to guide his performance, recovery, and nutrition makes him an ideal ambassador for Amazfit. He will utilize the Amazfit T-Rex 3 smartwatch, Helio Strap, and Zepp App ecosystem, emphasizing features like GPS accuracy, heart rate monitoring, VO₂ Max, and sleep tracking.
“Ultra running is all about managing the variables, pacing, nutrition, and recovery, while pushing your body to the limit,” said Farvard. “With Amazfit, I get reliable tracking capabilities and the necessary tools to optimize race days and recovery. It’s like having a coach on my wrist that doesn’t miss a beat.”
Expanding the Amazfit Ambassador Team
Farvard joins an elite group of Amazfit ambassadors, including Italian distance runner Yemaneberhan “Yeman” Crippa and triathlete Morgan Pearson. Together, they represent Amazfit’s commitment to innovation in endurance sports.
