Green Mountain Energy Company has joined the sponsor roster for the popular TOUGHMAN 2013 event. The middle/half distance event in Westchester County, New York, is organised by Toughman Enterprises Inc; and the event itself provides a major benefit for many local and national good causes. TOUGHMAN 2013 kicks off this year on 8 September.
According to Toughman Enterprises, Green Mountain Energy Company is committed to maintaining its position as the US nation’s longest serving renewable energy retailer. The company has two primary business units: residential and commercial energy. Athletes can visit the energy company’s booth at the TOUGHMAN 2013 event expo on Saturday 7 September and Sunday 8 September.
Green Mountain Energy joins a raft of sponsors for this year’s event, with Morgan Stanley, Zoot, ForeScount and Jarden already on board as the main sponsors in 2013.
The event involves a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. The race is USAT sanctioned, so USAT rules are in effect.
TOUGHMAN also offers a Paratriathlete category for physically challenged athletes. Here, registration is open to USAT classifications Tri 2 -Tri 6.
A companion to the Westchester County event – TOUGHMAN Indiana – got under way this year on 1 June 2013. This middle/half distance triathlon, organised by America Multi-Sport, took place in Richmond Indiana. The 2014 event returns on 31 May 2014 at Middle Fork Reservoir, Sylvan Nook Drive, Richmond.
