With a deadline looming on 11 July, World Triathlon Corporation (WTC), owner of the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 brands, has urged the international triathlon community to nominate Ironman for a sports travel award.
On the Ironman.com website, WTC asks triathletes to ’Help Ironman win a Sports Travel Award by nominating the Ford Ironman World Championship! We all know that the event in Kona is second to none … this is our chance to let the rest of the world in on that fact.’
To nominate Ironman for the award, visit www.sportstravelmagazine.com and click on the Sports Travel Awards button, or go to http://vote.schneiderpublishing.com/ballot/ to get right to the ballot form.
Judging criteria for the award include superior organisation or attendance, superior experience for competitors and/or spectators, and sites or venues that enhanced the event, series or circuit.
Please note that only one nomination form per e-mail address will be accepted. The nomination period ends on Saturday 11 July 2009, at 5 pm PDT. The SportsTravel Awards will be presented at the TEAMS 2009 Conference & Expo, 13-17 October in New Orleans.
