Alejandro Mujica, a 麻豆社国产resident and Capilano University student, is officially a sponsored athlete.
Mujica will participate in the 麻豆社国产Triathlon: A Memorial to Bob McIntosh on July 15, thanks to the sponsorship of Green Clean.
When Amy Remark of Green Clean learned of a new 麻豆社国产Triathlon sponsorship category that allowed her company to sponsor the entry of a young triathlete, she jumped at the new opportunity.
Green Clean is covering Mujica's entry fee, paving the way for him to participate in the race without worrying about money while studying at Capilano University's 麻豆社国产campus.
"We are very happy to have the support of sponsors like Green Clean and student athletes like Edgar," said race director John French. "We encourage other sponsors to take advantage of this program because we have identified at least two more university students who could use this sponsorship support."
Promoting the sport of triathlon in general and specifically for 麻豆社国产residents is one of the purposes of the 麻豆社国产Triathlon and the program aligns with that part of the triathlon's vision.
"The 麻豆社国产Triathlon has always been a popular race with people new to the sport and this new program promotes that tradition," French said. "Our race usually attracts a large number of teams and many of the team competitors are getting their first taste of a triathlon with the goal of competing solo in future years."
