Just Racing, the organiser behind the UK’s Challenge Henley event, has confirmed that Pearl Izumi is now on board as the official Run Sponsor for the 2013 Challenge Henley and Henley Half.
The partnership means that thousands of athletes will take to the ‘Pearl Izumi Run Course’ on race day, enjoying the sights and sounds of one of the most beautiful towns in the UK. And of course, throughout the race weekend all athletes and spectators will have the chance to sample and buy Pearl Izumi products at the Challenge Henley expo from the Pearl Izumi retail partner Runner’s Retreat.
Just Racing Director Alan Rose said “It’s fantastic to have teamed up with a brand like Pearl Izumi for Challenge Henley. Thousands of athletes and spectators will have the chance to enjoy the Pearl Izumi Run Course, which will once again be one of the highlights of the race.”
Billed as ‘the UK’s fastest long distance triathlon’, Challenge Henley showcases the best of its quintessentially British surroundings. The race features a swim along the Thames Royal Regatta Course, a rolling bike leg on closed roads through the Chiltern Hills and the Pearl Izumi Run Course, which winds its way through the picturesque town of Henley as it follows a path along the River Thames.
Pearl Izumi is a leading international brand in the manufacture of high-performance, high-tech sports apparel and footwear for avid cycling, tri and running enthusiasts. Based in Louisville, Colorado, a suburb of Boulder, Pearl Izumi is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shimano American Corporation, located in Irvine, California.
