Leading global nutrition company Herbalife is partnering with Competitor Group Inc (CGI) to sponsor the Events DC Nation’s Triathlon, one of the premier Olympic distance triathlons in the United States. In a release, it was noted that ‘the sponsorship reflects the Herbalife commitment to help people around the world lead a healthy, active life.’
Herbalife will be the title sponsor of the ‘Herbalife Congressional Challenge’ and the ‘Herbalife Recovery Zone’ at the 9th annual Events DC Nation’s Triathlon To Benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which takes place on Sunday 7 September 2014.
The Herbalife Recovery Zone will feature a selection of Herbalife24 sports nutrition products, which are designed to help athletes train, compete, recover and perform at the highest level, including Herbalife24 Rebuild Endurance recovery shake and H3O Fitness Drink. Herbalife will also provide athletes with nutrition tips and best practices for pre-, during, and post-event to assist participants in training for this and future events.
“Herbalife is very excited to be partnering with CGI on such a landmark event,” said Rob Levy, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales And Marketing at Herbalife. “The endurance athlete community is one we have a longstanding respect for and relationship with, both through the events we are involved with around the world and the successful athletes who benefit from Herbalife sports nutrition products. We look forward to welcoming all participants to what we expect will be a great event in the nation’s capital.”
As part of the triathlon, Herbalife will also sponsor the Herbalife Congressional Challenge, open to all Capitol Hill-based federal employees, including those who work for Administration offices and the White House. Participants may also compete in a race-within-a-race, including a Military Challenge and a Commander-in-Chief Challenge, open to military academy student participants, and the Tri Club Challenge, for triathlon club members.
