USA Triathlon has partnered with Sportstiks International to bring another resource to its growing list of sanctioned race directors.
With Sportstiks as an Official Supplier of USAT, race directors are eligible for special pricing on the new wave in self-adhesive race numbers for their events. USAT is using Sportstiks at each of its owned events in 2008.
“Supporting the race directors at the foundation of the multisport community is a priority for USA Triathlon, and with Sportstiks we are bringing an innovative resource to the table,” said USAT Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications Tim Yount. “The Sportstiks product adds value to any event by giving the athletes a hassle-free numbering system. And it provides race directors with another avenue to visibly support their sponsors.”
“Sportstiks International is excited that after successful trials with Sportstiks in the U.S., UK and New Zealand, USAT has identified the benefits that the Sportstiks products can offer their race directors and competitors,” said Claire Nicholson of Sportstiks. “We will ensure that the product and service lives up to and exceeds all expectations. Sportstiks and its product ranges are continually evolving so we are looking forward to feedback on how the product can be enhanced and what other products may be on a 'wish list'. We look forward to entering this new era of race identification with the U.S. leading the way.”
