The Nation’s Triathlon and AT&T have announced today that AT&T will be the event’s Exclusive Wireless Sponsor. As part of the sponsorship, AT&T will sponsor and award the DC Cup, to be given to the fastest male and female finishers from Washington, DC.
“AT&T is pleased to be a first time sponsor of the DC Cup,” said Rob Forsyth, Vice President and General Manager for AT&T in the Greater Washington/Baltimore area.
“Even as competitors from across the country criss-cross the city swimming, biking and running at super-human speeds to finish the Nation’s Triathlon, AT&T works each day to cover this region so customers can talk, text, surf and socialize at similarly blazing speeds.”
The 6th Annual Nation’s Triathlon To Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will take place on Sunday 11 September 2011 in the US capital, Washington, DC. It features a course that winds through Washington DC’s monument corridor in the shadow of the nation’s best known memorials and national treasures.
“The Nation’s Triathlon set a Guinness World Record in 2010 for largest international distance triathlon event in the nation,” noted Molly Quinn, Race Organizer. “Now, America’s most popular triathlon event is proud to welcome AT&T as a sponsor of our race to help us keep friends, family and loved ones connected.”
At the finish line, competitors will be able to go to the AT&T-Samsung Communications Station where they can call friends and family, send photos and let others know about their race results.
“The Nation’s Triathlon is my favourite race and I love competing every year because it’s a great opportunity to see Washington, DC from a unique vantage point – swimming, biking and running past some of our greatest monuments and national treasures,” noted DC resident Hilary Cairns, four-time winner of the DC Cup. “With all the fast, young triathletes in the area, I look forward to the challenge of competing again for the title of fastest DC female.”
