USA Triathlon, Jaybird Extend Partnership through 2018

USA Triathlon has extended its long-time partnership with Jaybird, a leading sports audio brand dedicated to developing innovative audio products for athletes. The three-year agreement allows the company to serve as the exclusive headphones of the National Governing Body through December 2018.

A USA Triathlon partner since 2009, Jaybird offers a 20 percent discount on all its products to USA Triathlon annual members, including elite athletes, members of USA Triathlon's Team USA amateur world championship teams, race directors, officials and coaches. Additionally, Jaybird will provide products for USA Triathlon membership promotions, as well as awards for USA Triathlon's four owned National Championships: Age Group Nationals, Collegiate Club & High School Nationals, Duathlon Nationals and Youth & Junior Nationals.

As an event sponsor of the USA Triathlon Collegiate Club National Championships, Jaybird will continue to provide prizes for collegiate teams who win the spirit award and the Jaybird Journey to Nationals video contest.

"You can't beat the freedom of not having to deal with wires while training to your favorite tunes or running to the hills - add in the sweat-proof, secure fit and and you can't find a better match for athletes everywhere." 

Jaybird headphones have been praised among the best wireless headphones on the market by Popular Mechanics and Esquire. To learn more about Jaybird's full catalog of products, visit jaybirdsport.com.
