IRONMAN Foundation-Newton Running Ambassador Team roster

41 athletes have been selected to compete during the 2015 race season as IRONMAN Foundation-Newton Running Triathlon Team Ambassadors

The IRONMAN Foundation, in partnership with Newton Running, has announced the 2015 IRONMAN Foundation-Newton Running (IMF-NR) Ambassador Triathlon Team roster. A total of 41 athletes have been selected to compete this year in IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events across North America as members of the IMF-NR Ambassador Team.

Since the team’s inception in 2013, the IMF-NR Ambassador Team has fundraised close to US$200,000, which has been distributed back into the race communities.

The IRONMAN Foundation and Newton Running – the Official Footwear of IRONMAN in the US as well as the Official Run Course Sponsor of select IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 races in North America – share a common goal of enhancing the IRONMAN race communities by supporting local charitable initiatives.

Members of the IMF-NR Ambassador Team have been specifically selected for their outstanding involvement in their own communities, and will continue to exemplify what it means to race for the greater good by giving back within the IRONMAN race communities as well.

“The IRONMAN Foundation and Newton Running have always been associated with positively influencing the triathlon community,” said David Deschenes, Executive Director of The IRONMAN Foundation. “Athletes selected for the IMF-NR Ambassador Team will have an amazing platform from which to support and share the mission of both The IRONMAN Foundation and Newton Running through helping others.”

All IMF-NR Ambassador Team athletes will be competing at either the Memorial Herman IRONMAN North American Championship Texas presented by Waste Management, IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder, or Little Debbie IRONMAN Chattanooga during the 2015 race season, and will volunteer their time prior to race day for philanthropic initiatives that will positively impact these IRONMAN race communities.

In addition to The IRONMAN Foundation, the following partners have stepped up to support the IMF-NR Team: Newton Running, GU Energy Labs, Quintana Roo, Sugoi, TriBike Transport, Rudy Project, ROKA, PhysioLife Studios, Training Peaks, FuelBelt, Smart Triathlon Training and FLO Cycling.

“Our partnership with the IRONMAN Foundation is an extension of Newton Running’s commitment to leave this world a better place than we found it,” said Wendy Lee, Director of Social Responsibility at Newton Running. “Both organizations are rooted in athleticism and philanthropy; a combination that provides a unique comradery amongst the team, and that most importantly will have a positive lasting impact for locals in the race community.”
