At KitBrix, we’re always excited to be part of ground-breaking endeavours that push the limits of human endurance, skill, and determination. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our partnership with the L’Occitane Sailing Team, proudly supporting skipper Clarisse Cremer as she embarks on her inspiring journey in the 2024 Vendée Globe. The Vendée Globe is a single-handed, non-stop, non-assisted round-the-world sailing race that takes place every four years. The Vendée Globe, often referred to as the ultimate test of solo sailing, covers over 45,000 kilometres and challenges sailors to navigate the world's most treacherous waters alone without any outside assistance. It is considered one of the most gruelling sporting events in the world.

If you’ve ever found yourself at the start line of a race or setting up at the gym and wondering where to put your bag down, you know the struggle. Wet grass, muddy fields, rough ground—it’s always a challenge. That’s exactly why the KitBrix BaseBrix™ was designed.

Hi, I’m Matt. I run Among The Trees based in Cheshire. Among The Trees delivers Forest School and outdoor learning opportunities for primary school aged children.

Working and offering first aid in an an outdoor woodland environment, I need kit that is reliable, rugged and most importantly able to handle anything the elements can throw at it, especially when it’s wet. Having seen Kitbrix at the National Outdoor Expo a few years ago, I’d been reminded about it by another classmate when on my last first aid course. Some more research into the bag again convinced me that this was a bag I should invest in as my first aid bag.

Open water swimming, the epitome of aquatic freedom, takes swimmers beyond the confines of a pool and into the natural embrace of rivers, lakes, and oceans. While the allure of these untamed waters is undeniable, venturing into them without proper precautions can pose significant risks. Let's explore how you can ensure a safe and enjoyable open water swimming (OWS) experience.

Project Venti: 20 marathons in 20 days in 20 Italian regions. 

A project I have been working on since September of 2023, but that has been lingering in my mind for much longer than that.

I wanted to push my limits and do something bigger than myself, that scared me.

It was possible thanks to everyone who supported the project though kind words and gear such as Kitbrix.

I'm sixteen years old, and my name is Libbie Joyce. Since I was eight years old, I have participated in obstacle course racing competitions. I adore OCR so much because it's educational and a lot of fun. I wear a V on my race vest since I ran a charity event in honour of my friend Violet; without her, I might not have discovered OCR.I started competing in adult elite races in 2023, and I've enjoyed moving up the ranks. I travelled to the OCRWC in America in October 2023, and I returned home with a silver medal in the 3k 14–19 and a gold medal in the elite women’s pro team!

Camille had a strong love for sports at a very young age. In the French bouldering hotspot of Fontainebleau, she grew up in a climbing household. A passion of exercise, exploration, and the great outdoors was established.

Naturally, over the years, her love of sports has changed. In the early years, she  was particularly interested in rock climbing, dance, and gymnastics. It wasn't until her  late 20s that Camille developed a liking for triathlon and running. When you can practice for three sports at once, why concentrate on just one?

I'm an adventure runner, writer, speaker, undergrad studying sports psychology, and an inspiration to dream big, act, and do incredible things.

After reaching 50 years old in 2017, I made the decision to pursue my passions for cross-country running, marathon running, and travel to new heights. Now that I'm on a mission, I want to run across, around, or through as many nations as I can while bringing as many people with me!

My name is Yiannis, but my friends call me Yian, family call me Yianni. Despite being a Greek Cypriot, I was born and still reside in Canterbury, England.

In September 2012, I began running and accompanied a buddy to join Canterbury Harriers. That's when I also started swimming because I had to learn how to swim at the time.


I think there is no such thing as "I can't"—if you put in the effort, it will eventually pay off. Above all, though, it's about loving your hobby and having fun.

Meet Blaine Hunt—a remarkable person whose journey from adversity to triumph serves as an example of the human spirit's tenacity and resolve. Blaine experienced a life-changing incident as a teenager during what ought to have been a standard knee surgery. Blaine refused to let his injury define him, even in the face of the difficulties it presented. Rather, he focused his resolve on paracycling, where his restricted ankle joint range and nerve damage made it difficult for him to compete. With his recruitment for the prestigious Great Britain Cycling Team in March 2021, Blaine's athletic career officially began anew.
