USA Triathlon has announced an expanded partnership with Zoot Sports. As the organization’s official cycling apparel partner since 2022, Zoot Sports this year will also be USAT’s official age group triathlon race suit partner and official age group triathlon performance apparel partner.
The agreement sees Zoot providing an additional tri suit option for age group Team USA athletes competing at world championship events.
‘Founded in Kona, Hawaii, in 1983 and the creator of the first triathlon-specific race suit, Zoot specializes in triathlon training and race day apparel.’
This expanded partnership makes Zoot’s apparel technologies available to the wider USA Triathlon community. Zoot will provide the official triathlon race suits and triathlon performance apparel for Team USA, which is comprised of the top amateur athletes who qualify to represent the United States at the World Triathlon Age Group World Championships.
Zoot will continue to provide cycling apparel for the US Elite Triathlon National Team and US Elite Paratriathlon National Team.
“Zoot Sports is an iconic brand in triathlon and is committed to maximizing the potential of age group athletes and support the growth of the sport,” said Victoria Brumfield, USA Triathlon CEO.
“Expanding our partnership with Zoot makes sense for USA Triathlon, as our values and goals are aligned. We are confident our age group athletes will benefit greatly from Zoot’s advanced technologies and product lines.”
Shawn O’Shea, President of Zoot Sports, said “We are incredibly honoured to expand our partnership with the national governing body of triathlon.”
“We’ve been providing athletes with innovative training and racing apparel for 40 years. Together with USA Triathlon we are excited to grow the sport by continuing to create world-class apparel for age group triathletes, supporting triathlon clubs and teams, as well as encouraging new athletes to enter the sport as a part of a healthy lifestyle.”
Each year, more than 1,500 US athletes represent Team USA at multiple World Triathlon Age Group World Championships, which bring together the best amateur multisport athletes from more than 50 countries. US athletes qualify for Team USA at USA Triathlon’s various National Championships.
