PacificHealth Laboratories – the business behind Accelerade, Accel Gel and Endurox – has announced that Body Glove SURGE, the company’s all-natural energy shot, will be a presenting sponsor for Leon’s Triathlon.
Leon’s Triathlon will take place on 1 June 2014 at Wolf Lake Park in Hammond, Indiana – part of the East Chicago area and adjacent to the Chicago metropolis.
Leon’s Triathlon, with more than 1,000 amateur triathletes competing, is part of the Chicagoland Tri Series for 2014, which also includes the Chicago Triathlon and the ITU World Championship Chicago event.
Billed as ‘the world’s fastest triathlon’, Leon’s Triathlon is a nationally broadcasted event viewed by millions of households across the US on Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
“We are delighted with our new association with Leon’s Triathlon,” said Dr Robert Portman, Chairman of PacificHealth Laboratories. “Leon’s Triathlon has been responsible for many innovations. For example, it was the first triathlon to offer stand-up paddle boarding as an alternative to the swim segment.”
Portman continued, “What I am most impressed with, however, is the commitment of Leon’s Triathlon to our military through Team Wired Athletes and Team Red, White and Blue.”
In 1983 Leon’s Triathlon was created after Leon Wolek, an endurance athlete, realized his passion for the sport could be turned into a triathlon event specifically focused on outstanding amateur triathletes. Leon’s Triathlon developed one of the US nation’s largest Team Challenge programs, and avidly supports a variety of charities, including Team in Training, Team RWB, Team to End AIDS, TEAM WIRED, and Tri-Masters Youth Programs.
This year Leon’s Triathlon will feature both Sprint and Olympic distance races.
Body Glove SURGE is billed as ‘the first proven all natural energy’. According to PacificHealth Laboratories, in a head-to-head comparisons versus rival brand 5-hour Energy, ‘university studies showed Body Glove SURGE is twice as effective in increasing energy, improving mental focus and reducing fatigue.’
Developed by a leading sports scientist, the all-natural non-GMO formula contains protein, green tea, honey, coconut water and pomegranate.
