FORM Dive In With T100 Triathlon World Tour Partnership
February 29, 2024
London, UK/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) is pleased to announce that FORM will become the Official Goggle Partner of the T100 Triathlon World Tour, as they extend their partnership.
FORM is committed to innovating the swim experience for age grouper and professional athletes alike, through their groundbreaking real-time visual feedback technology. In a sport where incremental gains can make a big difference, FORM’s in-goggle augmented reality technology allows athletes to train, race and perform at their best – and since partnering with the PTO in March 2022, FORM Smart Swim Goggles are now fully sanctioned in World Triathlon and T100 age grouper races.
Speaking about the continued partnership, FORM founder and CEO Dan Eisenhardt, said:
“It’s fantastic to have extended our official swim goggles partnership with the PTO for 2024. It’s a natural fit that an innovative, high-performance company such as FORM would continue to partner with an organization that’s as disruptive and ambitious as the PTO.”
Eisenhardt continued: “This year, the T100 Tour will take the sport of triathlon to iconic cities and courses where we’re sure to see incredible racing. Starting in Miami next week, we can’t wait to see FORM Pro’s Emma Pallant-Browne and Skye Moench kick off their respective seasons.”
FORM joins Canyon, Ekoi, Maurten, Garmin, and recent addition deboer, as T100 Triathlon World Tour partners for the new season, which will start with the Miami T100 at CLASH Endurance Miami, taking place at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida, 9-10 March. The lineup on the 2024 tour of FORM athletes includes: PTO world-ranked #10 Emma Pallant-Browne and #13 Skye Moench.
Commenting on FORM’s decision to extend their partnership, PTO CEO Sam Renouf said:
“We are excited to be partnering again with FORM. They have been a key partner for the PTO for several years so we are delighted they are now becoming an official partner of the new T100 Triathlon World Tour, which we want to make the pinnacle of our sport.”
The partnership activation with FORM for 2024 will include branding at the swim, onsite expo presence and age grouper demos at all North American events, along with Content and Social Media activations.
