Charlotte, NC, August 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- TriCoach Carolina, LLC announced today it signed a 3-year agreement to serve as an event sponsor for the third annual Beach2Battleship Iron Distance Triathlon, an internationally recognized competition to be held in Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, N.C., on November 13, 2010.
The event starts in Wrightsville Beach, winds through New Hanover, Pender, Sampson and Bladen counties and ends at the USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial in downtown Wilmington. Last year’s triathlon was the largest fundraising event for the Wilmington Family YMCA and attracted 1,600 participants, representing 41 states and 12 nations. The annual event generates up to $3 million in local economic impact, according to the Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau.

We look forward to being a part of this growing tradition in the years to come.”

The event includes a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run, and it also offers a 70.3 race as well.
