Global nutrition company Herbalife continued with its 12th year as the official nutrition partner and title sponsor of the Herbalife International Distance race, which kicked off the 30th Annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon presented by Equinox on 17 September.
“We’ve been involved with the Malibu Tri for more than a decade, as a corporate sponsor, as volunteers keeping the athletes hydrated with our Herbalife24 products, and as competitors, demonstrating our commitment to a healthy, active lifestyle with every single step,” said Michael Johnson, Chairman and CEO at Herbalife. “It’s our mission and our passion, and we live it every day.”
Across the race weekend, Herbalife Nutrition provided participants with CR7 Drive, which fuels an athlete’s workout while enhancing hydration, and Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength to support muscle recovery. In addition, 30 hydration stations sponsored by Herbalife Nutrition were located throughout the course.
Each year, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon attracts around 5,000 athletes and has raised US$10 million for the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ Pediatric Cancer Research Program. It is one of the US nation’s most recognizable races because of the course’s ocean views. The weekend event consisted of two separate races: the Herbalife International Distance race on Saturday 17 September and a shorter Classic Distance race on Sunday 18 September. Thousands of fans were lined along the course this weekend, cheering friends, family members and athletes vying for top podium finishes.
The course for the Herbalife International Distance race consists of a 1.5K Pacific Ocean swim, a 40k bike course along the Pacific Coast Highway and a 10K run along the sands of Zuma Beach. The Classic Distance race takes place the following day and will feature a half-mile ocean swim, an 18-mile bike course and a 4-mile run.
