Zone3, the British owned triathlon brand that recently unveiled its super premium, limited edition Zone3 MMXII wetsuit, is offering some top prizes for entrants to the SwimFesT open water swim series at Lakeside, Essex as part of a new sponsorship deal for 2012.
All registrations received by 30 April for any event in the three-date race series, taking place on 27 May, 15 July and 16 September, will be entered into a prize draw for a brand new Aspire wetsuit, one male and one female. The Aspire suit retails at £265 and has been the best-selling Zone3 wetsuit since its 10/10 review in 220 Triathlon magazine. According to Zone3, no other wetsuit has ever achieved a full marks review, which has certainly helped to raise the brand’s profile.
In addition, each entry received for the new SwimFesT 10K distance race taking place on 15 July will qualify for a separate draw for a Zone3 prize and each 3-race series entrant will receive a Zone3 product gift.
“This is a fantastic endorsement by Zone3 of the SwimFesT Series in its second full year,” said race organiser Mike Porter of Triathlon Racing Inc. “And with the continued support of headline sponsor Decathlon providing winners’ prizes for all age groups and PowerBar providing race nutrition for the series, those taking part really get value for money.”
The SwimFesT Series, held in partnership with Decathlon at Alexandra Lake and hosted by Lakeside shopping centre, offers first class facilities for open water swimming and spectating. With a great atmosphere, an accurate course, huge marker buoys, electronic chip timing of each lap and professional commentary, it is a high quality option for those who want to compete in open water swimming over the different distances of 750m, 1500m, 3.8K, 5K and now 10K.
Triathlon Racing Inc (TRI) works in partnership with high-profile companies to deliver quality professional services and products to triathlon and its discipline sports. TRI also co-organises the Lakeside Triathlon in partnership with One Step Beyond Promotions and the H2Open Day and H2Open Awards with the open water swimming magazine, H2Open.
