Hearn’s CyclING and Fitness announces Triathlon Race Team
Asheville, NC January 13, 2011: Hearn’s Cycling and Fitness announces a new Triathlon Team in Western North Carolina. Hearn’s has partnered with Run Buddies, a national athletic mentorship program matching adult running mentors with aspiring young runners at risk for childhood obesity. Asheville based team members Daphne Kirkwood, Teddy Park, and Ryan Madamba, will be racing, raising money, and awareness to help treat childhood obesity locally.
Current figures from the CDC put North Carolina at close to a 30% Obesity Rate with a youth rate for 10-17 year olds at 18% (CDC 2007). The CDC Data gives North Carolina a ranking of 11th in the country behind Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, and others at a 20% youth obesity rate. The Hearn’s Triathlon Racing Team will be racing in Western North Carolina and the Southeast Region. Other local area team sponsors include Jus Running, FastPivot, Myer’s Chiropractic, Nine Mile Restaurant in Montford, Ultimate Ice Cream, Affordable Bedding in West Asheville, and Eblen Short Stop.
