Event Wins Best International Triathlon Event
Presented by Runner’s World and Continues its Sponsorships of
Triathlons in Bali and Chile
Herbalife Nutrition (NYSE:HLF), a premier global nutrition
company, today announced it will host the 2020 Herbalife24
Triathlon Los Angeles, a USA Triathlon International-Distance West
Regional Championship sanctioned triathlon and unique urban race,
on Sunday, May 17, 2020. This year, the race will include the new
Herbalife24 Cycling tour covering 22 miles. In addition to the Los
Angeles race, the Company will continue its sponsorship of the
Herbalife Nutrition Bali International Triathlon in Indonesia and
the Herbalife IRONMAN 70.3 Pucón in Chile.
“Building on last year’s success, we are thrilled to return as
the host and producer of this world-class, one-of-a-kind event that
runs through our iconic city,” said Michael Johnson, Herbalife
Nutrition Chairman, and CEO. "Bringing races to Los Angeles and
other parts of the world further demonstrates our commitment to the
sport, which encourages and builds healthy and active communities
across the globe.”
More than 3,000 elite triathletes and weekend warriors are
expected to participate in the 2020 event, where a $23,000 prize
purse will be awarded among the top three finishers in the
elite/professional category. Last year, more than 2,000
participants – including 900 triathletes from the U.S., Asia and
South America – participated. This event was recently recognized as
the Best International Triathlon Event in the Challenge Awards
presented by Runner’s World, which aims to recognize the best
challenge events and organizations in the UK across the 2018-2019
season.
“The Herbalife24 Triathlon Los Angeles is the perfect setting
for the USA Triathlon International-Distance West Regional
Championships,” said Rocky Harris, USA Triathlon CEO. “We are proud
to offer athletes the chance to compete for regional honors on such
an iconic course. From the swim start at beautiful Venice Beach to
the finish line in downtown L.A., this race has a classic SoCal
atmosphere that brings us back to the roots of triathlon."
The Company will also introduce the Herbalife24 Cycling Tour, a
course through the streets of Los Angeles, separate from the urban
point-to-point triathlon course that will begin in Venice Beach at
the Pacific Ocean, continue through the heart of Los Angeles, and
finish downtown at the famed L.A. Live entertainment and sporting
complex.
The following events will take place as part of the Herbalife24
Triathlon Los Angeles in May 2020:
- International Triathlon The triathlon course features a
1500m (.9 mile) Pacific Ocean swim, 40k (25 miles) bike ride

includes a parking pass, pre-event party, gear check, breakfast,
race bag, express packet pick-up, and post-race nutrition, among
other perks.
The Company will also sponsor the two following international
triathlons:

November 10, 2019, where more than 2,000 athletes are expected to
