NITECORE Welcomes Andreu Simon Aymerich to the Team

NITECORE, a global leader in high-performance headlamps and outdoor lighting solutions, is proud to announce the addition of elite Spanish trail runner Andreu Simon Aymerich to our ambassador team. With an unwavering passion for the mountains and a relentless drive for excellence, Andreu exemplifies the endurance and determination that define the sport of trail running.

Defying Limits: A Journey of Passion and Resilience

From a young age, Andreu found freedom and self-expression in the mountains. "I have always loved sports and the mountains. I started trail running because it made me feel free – it allowed me to choose my own path after being diagnosed with diabetes, a condition full of limitations." Through persistence and dedication, he has continued to push past boundaries and redefine what is possible.

His journey has been shaped not by famous athletes but by those closest to him. "My role models have not been great sports figures. My closest environment has inspired and motivated me, shaping my personality and approach to life."

Triumphs on the Trail

Andreu's career is marked by remarkable achievements, including victories at Asics SainteLyon and Transgrancanaria (both Marathon and Ultra), as well as a runner-up finish at Lavaredo Ultra Trail. Yet, he remains motivated by the belief that his best performances are still ahead. "It inspires me to train every day, knowing that I can still achieve my best version."

Overcoming Challenges with Determination

Competing at an elite level in ultra-distance trail running presents unique challenges, but managing diabetes on top of that has required an extraordinary level of discipline and resilience. "Without a doubt, being a person with diabetes is a huge challenge in a sport like trail running. Managing glucose levels, insulin, and carbohydrate intake is an enormous difficulty that I work to overcome every day. My goal is to be an example and inspiration for the community living with the same condition."

Focused Training and Mental Preparation

Andreu's approach to training is centered on control and preparation. "I try to simplify and control what can be controlled. If I show up for a race, it's because I know I've done what I needed to do. My coach has planned everything in detail to ensure I arrive in good shape, and all I have to do is run as I have done before."

Beyond running, he values time with his family. "Until recently, I balanced my athletic career with my job, but now, with the birth of my child, my daily life revolves around training and being with my loved ones."

Chasing the Ultimate Dream

Looking ahead, Andreu's ambitions remain sky-high. "UTMB week in Chamonix has become the epicenter of world trail running. My dream is to achieve a podium finish in all three distances of the event. It’s a huge challenge, but it motivates me to train every day."

A Powerful Collaboration with NITECORE

Andreu's journey with NITECORE began when he tested our headlamps during training. "Some time ago, the brand provided me with several products. After training with them, I saw their potential and realized that partnering with them would allow me to take a step up in terms of quality."

We are honored to welcome Andreu Simon Aymerich to the NITECORE family and to support his continued pursuit of greatness. His dedication, resilience, and passion for the sport embody the values we uphold as a brand.
