Boulder-based nutrition brand launches Skratch Labs Racing, led by elite cyclists and trail runners
BOULDER, Colorado (April 8, 2025) — Skratch Labs has officially stepped into the spotlight with the launch of Skratch Labs Racing, its first elite athlete team, headlined by cycling standouts Haley Batten and Heather Fischer. Known for its science-driven approach to performance nutrition, the Boulder-based company expands its mission by directly supporting a handpicked roster of top-tier endurance athletes.
Celebrating its 13th year, Skratch Labs continues to push boundaries—not just in fueling performance but now by investing in the athletes who represent the very spirit of endurance sport. Skratch Labs Racing features eight athletes: cyclists Haley Batten, Heather Fischer, Alexis Magner, and Caroline Wreszin, along with ultra-runners Adam Peterman, Reid Burrows, Tara Fraga, and Tara Warren.
“At Skratch Labs, we go where the help is needed,” said Dr. Allen Lim, co-founder of Skratch Labs. “That’s always been our north star. Whether it was supporting athletes behind the scenes at global competitions or one-on-one through our athlete care program, we’ve been there, mixing bottles, giving advice, offering whatever we had to give. Now, we have the internal team and resources to go even further. We’ve built a team of athletes who are chasing the edge of possibility—those who carry purpose in their stride, who nourish their bodies and their communities, and who share our obsession with getting better. Because in the end, performance is just one part of the story. The bigger impact comes from how athletes inspire others to show up, work hard, and pursue excellence.”
The team unites four cyclists and four trail runners competing at the highest levels a variety of disciplines.
Batten leads the way with a series of standout performances, including wins at the 2025 Sea Otter Classic Gravel and Fuego XL, as well as a silver medal in cross-country mountain biking at the 2024 Olympics. Fischer brings veteran presence to the squad with a sharp racing mind, deep experience in criteriums, and a packed gravel racing calendar. Joining them on the road and gravel scene are Alexis Magner and Caroline Wreszin, both targeting USA Road Nationals and setting their sights on future Olympic opportunities.
On the trail side, Adam Peterman returns to Western States with momentum after setting a new course record at the Gorge Waterfalls 100k and earning a spot on the USATF Mountain Ultra Team. Tara Fraga, fresh off a commanding win and course record at Yakima Skyline 50k, and Reid Burrows, preparing for the iconic Leadville 100, round out the team’s rising talent. Tara Warren brings steady leadership and a wealth of experience as she anchors the team’s UTMB Val d’Aran campaign.
With Skratch Labs Racing, the brand transforms its long-held athlete-first philosophy into a visible, high-impact initiative—one that champions resilience, progress, and inspiration in equal measure.
