Pukka Pads sponsor local Triathletes
Poole based Pukka Pads the international stationery suppliers have agreed a two year sponsorship agreement with local Triathlon Club Zoom. Zoom and their junior club counterparts at Geronimo Tristars are keen to expand the development of triathlon in the area. Triathlon and multi-sport event participation has seen a huge growth in the past 5 years making Triathlon the fast growing sport in Europe right now. " Triathlon is booming! Its a sport that Great Britain can be proud of because we are superb at it" said Rob Griffiths club chairman. " We currently have The World Champion Tim Don and winners in many other World Championship categories, Under 23, Junior, as well as in the Women's long course and Duathlon events"
Many people are now taking up the fun and challenge of multi sport events like Triathlon with many of the big events getting sold out in hours. Amazingly even the longer endurance including Ironman are now selling out in super quick times as 'weekend warriors' are taking up the challenge. All 2000 places in the UK Ironman event taking place on August 17th here in Dorset was sold out months ago.
"The wonderful thing about Triathlon in this area is there is something for everyone, events come in all distances, in all age groups, there is lots of variety in the training and you get to spend time in the fresh air.. Fantastic!" said Griffiths.
Pukka's new sponsorship will help to support Zoom and the on-going development of its club activities. Zoom has already seen success this year with several of its age group athletes performing well at international events. The Club have a number of young athletes that starting to show their potential both in training and racing. Watch out over the next few years as some of the stars of future might just be swimming, biking or running near you right now!
