Show of hands, as Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix gets under way

The Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix has announced the first round leaders in the competition to determine ‘Chicagoland’s fastest triathletes at the Olympic distance’.

The Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix offers triathletes who compete in Leon’s Triathlon and at least one other event in the Chicagoland Tri Series the opportunity to win cash and prizes totalling over US$3,000.

PacificHealth Laboratories – the business behind Accelerade, Accel Gel and Endurox – recently announced that Body Glove SURGE, the company’s all-natural energy shot, will be a presenting sponsor for Leon’s Triathlon. The Body Glove SURGE brand has since extended its sponsorship engagement to the Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix with prizes and cash up for grabs for participation in events in the Chicagoland Tri Series, of which Leon’s Triathlon is a part.

(Ryan Giuliano, 30, of Oak Hill, Illionis, leads the men and Megan James, 43, of Portage, Michigan, leads the women following their victories in Leon’s Triathlon, the first event in the Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix held on 1 June at Wolf Lake Park in Hammond, Indiana.)

Leon Wolek founder of Leon’s Triathlon, said, “There’s no doubt that Chicagoland is the centre of the triathlon competition in the United States. The Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix now gives triathletes bragging rights as to who is the fastest competitor in our area. I congratulate Ryan and Megan for their outstanding performances this past weekend, as well as the other age group winners. I will be cheering them on.”

 

The Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix involves three major triathlons in the US. These are: Leon’s Triathlon, the ITU World Triathlon Chicago event on 27 June and the Transamerica Chicago Triathlon on 24 August.

The Body Glove SURGE Grand Prix will offer prize money and gear totalling over US$3,200 to the three male and female winners with the fastest time, as well as winners in specific age groups. To be eligible, triathletes must complete two of the three Olympic distance courses, with one of the races being Leon’s.

Dr Robert Portman, President of PacificHealth Laboratories, the creator of Body Glove SURGE, said, “We are tremendously excited to be part of the first Grand Prix. All three of these events are special in their own way and we look forward to seeing the final winners on August 24.”

Body Glove SURGE is billed as ‘the first proven all natural energy drink’. According to PacificHealth Laboratories, in head-to-head comparisons versus rival brand 5-hour Energy, ‘university studies showed Body Glove SURGE is twice as effective in increasing energy, improving mental focus and reducing fatigue.’

Developed by a leading sports scientist, the all-natural non-GMO formula contains protein, green tea, honey, coconut water and pomegranate.
