Ashworth Awards, ‘the premier medallion and award manufacturer in the endurance sports industry’, has announced the launch of its new Ashworth Awards Race Team.
Dan and Kim Ashworth, owners of Ashworth Awards, have a firm belief that an active lifestyle is important to an individual’s long-term health and wellness. In the autumn/fall of 2012 Ashworth Awards opened its employee gym/fitness center at a facility in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, to support and promote this healthy lifestyle for employees.
Many competitive age group athletes from the North Attleboro area began to train in the gym and coordinate organized rides and run workouts. In turn, it became apparent that there was a definite lack of a serious age group race/triathlon team in the area of the Ashworth Awards’ home office.
So, Kim and Dan decided they wanted to create such a race team to support the competitive athletes in their area and nationwide across the US.
Anyone who has trained and raced in endurance sports is aware that the long training hours can be both challenging and rewarding at the same time. Sharing this training time with others that have similar goals can make those long training hours even more enjoyable. The Ashworth Awards Race Team has therefore been formed to support this same quality training and racing experience.
A soft launch was made at the beginning of November 2013 and the team already has 40 members.
Many nationwide companies have begun their sponsorship of the race team, ranging from Russo Racing coaching services to Aquaman wetsuits and a partnership with Endurance Nation triathlon team and athletic footwear specialists DB Sports.
The team is now open for athletes to apply for membership. Athletes should go to www.ashworthawardsraceteam.com to learn more. For any company looking to sponsor these competitive age group athletes, please email kim[at]ashworthawards.com.
