USA Triathlon (USAT) has renewed its longstanding partnership with Running and Cycling Enterprises (R.A.C.E.), which distributes the brands Rudy Project and XX2i Optics. The newly extended partnership runs through 2020. Rudy Project is a premier manufacturer of helmets, sunglasses and prescription eyewear in North America for the multisport community, and XX2i Optics ‘crafts polarized and value performance eyewear for value-conscious athletes.’
As the Official Sunglass and Helmet Supplier of USA Triathlon since 2000, R.A.C.E will continue to provide performance gear to athletes on the US National Team and USA Paratriathlon National Team.
USA Triathlon annual members will be able to take advantage of exclusive offers and discounts through the Rudy Project and XX2i Optics brands on e-rudy.com and XX2i.com. In addition, triathletes around the US will continue to see Rudy Project helmets and sunglasses, and XX2i Optics polarized sport sunglasses, awarded as prizes at USA Triathlon events and through promotional contests.
“USA Triathlon is extremely proud to extend its relationship with R.A.C.E.,” said Chuck Menke, Chief Marketing Officer at USA Triathlon. “For almost two decades, triathletes of all levels have trusted Rudy Project to provide safe and comfortable helmets and sunglasses, and now XX2i Optics also offers high-quality eyewear at competitive pricing.
“R.A.C.E.’s ongoing commitment to technology and innovation continue to position the company at the helm of the endurance sports industry, making it one of USA Triathlon’s most valuable partners.”
“We could not be more thrilled to be partnering with USA Triathlon for another four years,” said Paul Craig, President and Co-Founder of Running and Cycling Enterprises. “They are one of the best-run organizations and our experience working with them since 2000 has been nothing but positive and productive. We look forward to building triathlon participation and providing the best equipment on the planet for years to come.”
