About Us

Hey there, endurance athletes! I'm Darin Alleman, the founder of Monolith. 

Back in 2022, I was on a relentless quest for the perfect fuel to conquer those demanding long rides after hitting the wall on 10+ hour rides. High-carb mixes offered a clear advantage but the exorbitant price point caused a different kind of gut pain. Determined to find a better solution, I immersed myself in the science of endurance nutrition.

Fueled by my own frustration and a genuine desire to help fellow athletes, I spent countless hours devouring research papers and experimenting in the kitchen with various mixes. It wasn't always pretty – there were some questionable concoctions that wouldn't win any culinary awards! But through trial and error and a whole lot of testing on my own long rides, I finally cracked the code.

Here's where the story takes a delicious turn. When I shared my creation with my teammates and friends, their enthusiastic response was overwhelming! Their repeated requests for "more of that amazing fuel" became the spark that ignited Monolith. It wasn't just about creating a great product anymore. It was about empowering other athletes to achieve their endurance goals without sacrificing their wallets in the process.

Today, Monolith is no longer a one-man operation toiling in the kitchen. My amazing wife Krysten has brought her incredible organizational skills, attention to detail and unwavering support to further improve operations. And let's not forget the littlest member of the Monolith crew – our energetic toddler who is providing unmatched enthusiasm. We're a family-run business working to fuel your endurance journey with every mile and every mountain climbed.

So welcome to Monolith! Whether you've just started training or have racked up thousands of miles on the roads and trails, we're here to provide the simple, effective and affordable fuel you need to chase your goals.

Join us to conquer those distances together!
