“The VW Triple Peach is a fun and exciting way to encourage participants to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle throughout the year,” said Tracey Russell, executive director of the Atlanta Track Club. “We’re pleased to have Volkswagen involved in this new program as we continue to promote health and fitness in the Atlanta community and beyond.”
“Volkswagen and Volkswagen owners have been associated with a healthy, active lifestyle as far back as those iconic images from the 60’s of surfboards strapped to the roof of the Volkswagen Beetle,” said Kevin Mayer, vice president marketing, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “Volkswagen is proud to team up with Atlanta Track Club for a cause embedded in the Volkswagen DNA, healthy living.”
