Belgian triathlon brand endurance Junkie, specializing in long distance triathlon race clothing, is proud to announce they are actively developing their own sponsored triathlon racing squad. The brand is looking for 10 top age groupers to wear the endurance Junkie tri gear during the upcoming 2012 season.
"We are already rewarding amateur athletes through our Race and Cashback Offer," says Peter Brees, Managing Director of endurance Junkie, "but true top amateurs have the same drive and dedication as the pros, so it is about time we start treating them like pros."
The 2012 squad will consist of our five current team members, plus 10 new top amateurs from all age groups and major continents. Each athlete will be given a one-year contract with the Junkie Squad consisting of race entry fees and race apparel.
"Athletes who have qualified for the 70.3 Worlds in Las Vegas or Ironman Hawaii have proven that they are on top of their game. We strongly believe that with our support and our gear – designed for maximum breathability, body temperature control and total freedom of movement – they will be able to race to their full potential in 2012," added Peter.
To apply, athletes must simply fill in the Squad Application web form and include a couple of action pictures. Applications are being accepted until October 31, the team will be unveiled on December 2nd.
