USA Triathlon (USAT) has announced agreements with several new and existing corporate partners – Accenture, Ludus Tours, TriSports.com, VolunteerLocal and Zum LLC.
All five sponsorship deals will benefit USA Triathlon’s constituent groups and its members through exclusive programs and savings.
Accenture
Accenture continues its role as an official associate partner of USA Triathlon and USA Triathlon’s paratriathletes throughout 2011. In addition to offering support as the title sponsor of the 2011 Accenture USA Paratriathlon National Championships on 7 August in New York City, Accenture will once again serve as the presenting sponsor for the 2011 USA Paratriathlon Athlete of the Year awards.
Accenture is a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, with approximately 211,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries.
Ludus Tours
Ludus Tours – a San Diego, California-based company that specialises in the organisation and operation of tours and travel to major global sporting and cultural events – has been designated USA Triathlon’s official hospitality and travel partner for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
Additionally, Ludus will serve as USAT’s official hospitality and travel partner for USA Triathlon National Championship events through to 2013. USA Triathlon annual members are eligible for a discount on any Ludus Tours package, including the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara and more.
TriSports.com
An online multisport retailer with a physical store in Tucson, Arizona, TriSports.com has been designated as a new official supplier of USA Triathlon, as well as the presenting sponsor of the 2011 USA Triathlon Duathlon National Championship, which is slated for 30 April in Tucson, Arizona.
In addition to TriSports.com’s support of the USAT Duathlon Nationals, the company will also provide product support to the USA Triathlon National Team Program. USA Triathlon annual members are eligible for a 10% discount on all online purchases through TriSports.com, while USA Triathlon certified coaches and elite athletes will receive a 15% discount.
VolunteerLocal
VolunteerLocal, a web-based system that helps pair volunteers with athletic competitions, community festivals and non-profit events, has been designated an associate partner of USA Triathlon for a second straight year.
As it did for a trio of USA Triathlon National Championships in 2010, VolunteerLocal will provide a system that allows potential volunteers to browse available shifts and choose their activity for four events in 2011. This system will be utilised for USA Triathlon’s Collegiate, Duathlon, Youth & Junior, and Age Group and Sprint National Championships.
Zum LLC
Zum LLC produces web-based applications, such as ZumTri, which transform chip-timing results from endurance events into interactive virtual race replays. Returning as an official technology supplier of the USA Triathlon National Championships, Zum will create custom race previews, live coverage and virtual replays of all USA Triathlon-owned National Championship events in 2011 and 2012.
ZumTri enables friends and family to follow an athlete’s event live, and race participants can watch a virtual replay of their performance following the event.
