BODYBUILDING.COM AND PURSUIT RX ANNOUNCE NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH SPARTAN RACE
Partnership allows Spartan racers optimal energy, hydration, and muscle protection to prepare, compete and forge through various levels of training sessions and races, as well as a one-stop shop for all race nutrition .
BOISE, Idaho and BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bodybuilding.com, the Internet's most-visited fitness site and largest online retailer of nutritional supplements, and Pursuit Rx, the leading all-natural supplement line under the Dymatize Nutrition brand, announced a three-way partnership today with Spartan Race, Inc., the world's leading obstacle racing company. Bodybuilding.com will be the official online sports nutrition store and Pursuit Rx will be the official powdered pre-workout drink of the Reebok Spartan Race through May 2015.
Pursuit Rx's all-natural pre-workout offers multiple benefits to Spartan Racers through various natural ingredients such as pomegranate and beetroot extracts used for increased blood flow, increased pump, and reduced fatigue. It also contains black and green tea extracts used for sustainable energy, and tart cherry extract to prevent muscle catabolism. These benefits are vital for any workout or race. Pursuit Rx will have a sampling tent at every race start line.
Bodybuilding.com will provide a marketplace for obstacle racers to purchase Pursuit Rx, and has created a Spartan-themed micro-site where race participants can shop and read up on industry news. Bodybuilding.com will also be the presenting sponsor of a weekly exercise available on the Spartan Race blog . The weekly exercises are specifically designed to help the racer tackle the 15+ obstacles on the course. The weekly exercise will come with a complete description on how to preform the movement correctly, a picture and a video tutorial from Bodybuilding.com's vast exercise database.
"Spartans work hard every day to build their bodies in a way that enables them to compete at their highest level. There are many ways to build a body and we want to show the world that shaping your body like a Spartan isn't the same as the Mr. Olympia competition," said Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena.
"Constructing a lean Spartan body combines strength, endurance and speed. Bodybuilding.com is a great resource providing free information on exercises, workouts, nutrition, and supplementation to help our athletes perform at an optimal level. Training, in conjunction with a great supplement such as all natural Pursuit Rx, will help our racers achieve their peak Spartan bodies," De Sena said.
