("Herbalife" or "Company"), a global nutrition company,
continues in its 13th year as the official

"Our corporate sponsorship, along with our distributors and

Cancer and Blood Diseases at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
The triathlon is one of the nation's most recognizable races
because of the course's breathtaking ocean views. The weekend event
consists of two separate races: the Herbalife International
Distance race on Saturday, which includes a
1.5-kilometer Pacific Ocean swim, a 40-kilometer bike
course along the Pacific Coast Highway, and a
