VABION Challenges Richmond Fitness Community
Three Events in Three Days Highlights Richmond’s Fitness Orientation.
Richmond, VA, May 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- VABION LLC (VABION) announced today Jason Yu, a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and marketing manager at the company, will compete in three running events in three consecutive days later this month. The company is challenging others in the fitness community to join him. The three events are the Riverrock Events on May 15 and May 16, and the Carytown 10K road race on May 17.
“I will be working extremely hard training and maintaining a well balanced diet before the May 15-17 events, said Jason Yu. “I am not looking to win the gold medal and a PR would be great, but rather to enjoy what Richmond running is and enjoy this experience with two of my fraternity brothers.” It is the first time for all three amateur runners, all members of Sigma Phi Epsilon, to register for races in three consecutive days.
According to Dr. Susan Hardwicke, VABION chief executive, “May is going to be an exciting month for runners and the city of Richmond. It’s a tribute to the city and the energized fitness community to showcase three popular events in as many days.” The company plans to support the events through social networking and distributing free samples of its popular energy supplement, Diesel Energy Stix.
