COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Triathlon today announced it has renewed its partnership with Ashworth Awards, a leading manufacturer and supplier of custom awards, trophies and medallions, through 2022. The company has served as an Official Awards Partner of USA Triathlon since 2013.

“We are thrilled to renew our partnership with USA Triathlon through 2022,” said Kim Ashworth, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Ashworth Awards. “Ashworth Awards believes it is important to give back to our sport and be involved on every level. We are not only manufacturers in the endurance sports industry, but we are athletes ourselves! We understand what athletes expect to receive at the finish line. They train so hard and deserve the best awards and medallions when they finish. I look forward to our partnership helping events provide long-lasting mementos for athletes to treasure years after they race their event.”
