Participation in Coast-to-Coast Endurance
Events Demonstrates Commitment to Healthy, Active Lifestyle
Global nutrition company Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) kicked off a busy
triathlon season this past weekend as part of a larger year-long
sponsorship of major endurance events across the United States.
“We are excited to once again be involved in the sponsorship of
triathlons across the country,” said Michael Johnson, chairman and
CEO, Herbalife. “The endurance community is one we have a
longstanding relationship with, both through the events we are
involved with around the world, and the successful athletes who
benefit from our sports nutrition products.”
For the eighth straight year, Herbalife was a sponsor of the LA
Triathlon at Torrance Beach. As this year’s “Official Fluid
Replacement” provider for the LA Triathlon, Herbalife provided its
recovery and hydration products to athletes to ensure participants
received the nutrition needed to complete the triathlon. More than
a thousand triathletes and approximately 350 Herbalife employees
attended this weekend’s event, along with many Herbalife
independent members.
In the nation’s capital on the same weekend, Herbalife sponsored
the D.C. Nation's Triathlon, one of the premier international
distance triathlons in the United States. Herbalife hosted the
official “Herbalife Recovery Zone” and was the title sponsor of the
“Herbalife Congressional Challenge.” The D.C. Nation’s Triathlon,
which saw 3,500 participants, includes a swim in the Potomac River,
bike course through downtown D.C., and a run along Washington
D.C.’s monument corridor adjacent to the nation’s best known
memorials and historical landmarks.
Back in California, Herbalife is also sponsoring the Nautica
Malibu Triathlon. As the first ever endurance event sponsorship in
Herbalife’s history, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon is one of the
nation’s most iconic triathlons and will be held in Zuma Beach on
September 20, 2015. Gathering thousands of participants including
the world’s finest athletes, philanthropists, celebrities and
supporters, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon will provide the ultimate
fitness experience with a half-mile ocean swim, 18 mile bike ride
and four mile run by the beach. Fundraising efforts will benefit
the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ Pediatric Cancer Research
Program, dedicated to curing and preventing childhood cancers.
In Chicago, Herbalife is the Official Nutrition, Wellness and
Sports Performance Partner of the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Grand
Final and World Championships. More than 6,500 triathletes from 62
countries are expected to compete next week in the ITU World
Triathlon Grand Final Chicago at Grant Park. All participants,
including elites, age-group athletes, para-triathletes, juniors and
under-23 athletes will stay fueled through Herbalife’s sports
nutrition products.
Herbalife is also involved in smaller endurance events across
the country, including triathlons in Newport Beach, CA; Long Beach,
CA; Cleveland, OH; Eugene, OR; and Rockwall, TX.
