USA Triathlon (USAT) has renewed multi-year partnerships with endurance industry players SelfGrip Athletic Tape and Raceday Transport, with agreements in place through December 2017. As noted by USAT, the partnerships will directly benefit USA Triathlon members and programs.
SelfGrip is a self-adhering, maximum-support athletic tape and is designated as an Official Bronze-Level Partner. As the Official Athletic Tape of USA Triathlon, SelfGrip will offer a 20% discount to all USA Triathlon annual members, including athletes and coaches.
“SelfGrip’s association over the last three years with USA Triathlon has been a wonderful growth experience as we have discovered the amazing dedication the athletes commit to on a daily training regimen and how SelfGrip can support them in their pursuit of excellence,” said Robert Cavagnaro, SelfGrip Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“SelfGrip’s ability to maintain its compression during strenuous events lets triathletes focus solely on their performance and not worry about anything else. Athletes who compete at the highest level need additional support, and as triathlon continues to grow, we look forward to supporting USA Triathlon and its events throughout the country.”
Raceday Transport returns as an Official Supplier of USA Triathlon, offering USAT annual members a US$50 discount on bike shipping through the company’s Box & Ship Options and Fully Assembled Transport. This includes bike transportation to USA Triathlon’s four owned National Championships: Age Group, Collegiate Club, Duathlon and Youth & Junior; as well as ITU World Championship events for members of Team USA, the amateur athletes who represent the US at championship events around the world.
Raceday Transport is also the Official Bike Transport of the USA Paratriathlon program, offering a special discount to members of the USA Paratriathlon National Team who will be traveling to the USA Paratriathlon National Championships.
“We are excited to renew our multiyear sponsorship with USA Triathlon,” said Marc Sanders, Chief Operating Officer of Raceday Transport. “The Raceday Transport name is synonymous with high-quality events and service excellence — attributes we share in common with USA Triathlon. Traveling athletes will continue to enjoy Raceday Transport’s cost-efficient bike transport options and on-site event services to enhance their overall event experience.”
