Due to popular demand, we've created a team/group Picky "sponsorship" called Picky Teams. As a Picky Team you can order bars in bulk for your group/organization and get them at a discounted price of $2/bar! Crazy, we know. The minimum is 100 bars per order and you can order as often as you'd like. Sports teams, hiking groups, sewing circles—all groups are welcome to submit, but only the best will make it into the elite ring of Picky Bars teams.
To apply, or if you have questions, email teams@pickybars.com.

"We have what it takes to be a Picky Team because we are an active and picky family - dad is a high school XC/track coach whose team just won their conference, mom is a runner/triathlete and was until recently president of the New Fairfield Flash track program for middle school kids. Alysha (age 20) walked on to the Notre Dame XC/track teams her freshman year and is still involved with the team, Ryan (age 17) runs XC and track and since discovering Picky Bars he has improved from being the number 9 runner on his team to the number 4 runner in his recent conference championship! Cailin (age 7) is running along trying to keep up with the rest of us, she plays "indoor track meet" in our house during the winter when she can't run barefoot in the yard outside!"

We have what it takes to be a Picky Team because we strive for a high power to weight

the ideal carb/protein ratio in every bar.... and we need all the
freaking science we can get to sprint across the finishline!"

Black Duck Racing
Where: The team is located throughout the US, most racing/training is the Northeast US, team headquarters in State College, PA
Activity:Endurance Racing (ie: distance running, marathon, triathlon, cycling, climbing)
# of members: 6
BlackDuck Racing was started in 2011 comprised of ex-professional athletes, US National Team members, and collegiate athletes. In an effort to shun the rule-centric structure and social obligations of other established teams, BlackDuck Racing strives to enhance the endurance sport lifestyle and the spirit of competition. Retired US Team members and pro cyclists, century riders, and collegiate athletes made up the first class of BlackDuck Racing. We have a marathon runner with a 3:08 PR, crit riders, time-trialists, and triathletes with multiple podiums in 2010 and 2011. Even though the majority of the team competes individually, we all look to the team for training support and advice. Being part of the Picky Team will serve not only to fill a void in our nutrition plans, but prove to be advantageous to Picky Bars as well

Rolf Prima Triathlon Team
Where:Eugene,OR (Picky headquarters)
Activity: Cycling
# of members: 10
We love to train in the rain, sun, snow, and water. Weʼd all choose the sun over rain
except when it gets really windy AND rainy and we are 1 hour into a 4 hour ride. We
just chalk that up as a character building training day. Itʼs nothin'. Plus, we run after we
ride, so there is no use getting too worked up about a few minutes of rain within a 5
hour training day. Then, we eat a lot. The Rolf Prima Triathlon team is a fantastic group of people who get hungry with all the training and living we do. We want to support a local company and do what we can to advocate endurance sports. We would be stoked to be fueled by Picky Bars!!
Girl Scout Troop 40149

# of members: 10 girls, 4 adults
We live in the Great Pacific Northwest. We have access to three mountain ranges (Cascades, Olympics, and Canadian Kootenays) the rivers, the Puget Sound, and the Pacific Ocean. Many of our school's youth are complacent and happy being indoors 24/7-365. Our troop is trying to break this culturally bad habit by doing things every month to encourage each other in living a healthier better manner. These past few months we have been working on nutrition and how that will affect us physically, mentally, and yes - spiritually. The girls have decided that they want to do each outing and troop meeting with only healthy foods.

Activity:Triathlon, and other endurance event
# of members:18 Members
We are a triathlon team in our 2nd year hoping to be considered as a Picky Team! We LOVE Picky Bars, for just about every occasion, and can't get enough. While we are a relatively new team, many of our members are established triathletes. As a team we have competed in over 40 triathlons, all across the country. In addition to training and racing hard, we take pride in our attitude, with a central mission to make triathlon fun and lively. We feel that our attitude jives well with the witty, lively and awesome messaging and brand image of Picky Bars and we'd love to be officially affliated with a brand that we already love.
We make an effort to come together at races, a time to congregate, laugh, love, and crush the competition. We are a close group of friends, a bunch of turkeys, and we love to have a great time before, during and after the race. We also keep a running ‘stack rank’ of our competitors, essentially weekly odds on the likelihood of victory for each team member, it get’s pretty intense…in a good way.
