LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Herbalife
Nutrition, which successfully debuted the Herbalife24 Triathlon Los
Angeles, Bike Tour, and 5k in 2019,
will host the event on Sunday, October 24,
2021. Last year's event was cancelled due to COVID.
The Herbalife24 Triathlon Returns on October
24 with Safety Protocols in Place to Protect Participants
and Observers
This year's event – which will once again start at Venice Beach
and cover the iconic streets of Los
Angeles – looks to build upon the benchmark established by
the inaugural Herbalife24 Triathlon Los Angeles (June 2019), which was named "Best International
Triathlon Event" in the Challenge Awards presented by Runner's
World, throughout the 2018-2019 season.
The Herbalife24 Triathlon Los Angeles is working with public
health officials in Los Angeles to
ensure safety protocols are in place and will follow all applicable
federal, state, and local protocols. The event will
also follow COVID-19 safety protocols established by USA Triathlon (Return to Racing
Guidelines).
October's competition will feature a $40,000 prize purse for those competing in the
International distance – almost double the 2019 purse. In addition,
there will be competition for those at all levels as Herbalife
Nutrition continues to promote a healthier, more active
lifestyle.
Race offerings include a triathlon and aquabike (International/
Sprint distances), a bike tour and a 5k run/walk option, perfect for families.
Spectators and the surrounding communities are invited to support
the participants by enjoying socially distanced activities at the
Venice Beach start line and finish line festivities at L.A. Live's
Xbox Plaza.
"We will offer socially distant race options for everyone and
invite athletes of all levels to join the fun," said Jennifer Guran, director of sports marketing for
Herbalife Nutrition, North America. "For everyone's safety
disposable masks and sanitation stations will be available
throughout each transition area for all event participants and
spectators."
Registration fees for the 5k will
benefit JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), this year's
charity of choice, a nonprofit organization that works to speed-up
life changing breakthroughs to cure, treat, and prevent Type 1
Diabetes.
"Every dollar raised from the 5k
will go to fund research to help people one day live a life without
Type 1 Diabetes," said Michelle
Popoff is Executive Director of the JDRF Southern California
Chapter.
