IRONMAN and FinisherPix have announced a multi-year partnership that will provide competitors at IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 triathlons ‘a high-quality photo experience that will capture the highs and lows of racing for years to come’. Since 2010, FinisherPix has been the Official Photographer for IRONMAN events worldwide. Other endurance events within the brand’s portfolio, such as the Velothon Series and the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon, will also be included within the extended agreement between the two organisations.
“We live and breathe endurance events and are lucky to have a great team that helps us to continue to grow and improve,” said FinisherPix Managing Director, Robbie Little. “Working with IRONMAN continues to be a natural fit and we could not be more excited about extending the partnership.”
“As the IRONMAN event portfolio grows, FinisherPix has continued to capture the unique racing experience of our athletes through their photography,” said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer for IRONMAN. “We are confident that their combined passion and professionalism will consistently deliver a great product to our athletes worldwide.”
FinisherPix Managing Director Thomas Reichhold, along with Robbie Little and other employees of Finisherpix have participated in a variety of triathlon and running events around the world. ‘Their understanding from an athlete perspective and the passion they bring to each event helps to deliver the best athlete photography opportunities for participants.’
“We are excited about the future and we will continue to innovate in all areas of our business,” added Reichhold.
In addition, FinisherPix assumed the title sponsor position for a variety of events to finish out the 2017 season, including the private IRONMAN Aloha Reception in Kailua Kona, Hawai’i at the IRONMAN World Championship, where Chrissie Wellington was inducted into the IRONMAN Hall of Fame in front of the IRONMAN extended family.
