The American Trail Running Association (ATRA) announces Ashworth Awards will return for the second consecutive year as the preferred awards partner in its Event Standards Program.
ATRA’s Event Standards Program was introduced in 2012, and includes vendors and suppliers as partners to further assist trail race directors in meeting ATRA’s 15 criteria necessary for staging a safe and well-organized event.
Awards are a component of every event, and can include medals to honor a race finish, overall and age group prizes, or special recognition for an incredible achievement. Awards can provide an additional way to commemorate an event, share a logo, or highlight an image specific to a venue, or trail.
“Our relationship with Kim, Dan and the Ashworth Awards team has been a great experience for us,” said Nancy Hobbs, ATRA Executive Director. “This company has its pulse on our community’s needs and creates quality products, provides superior customer service, and designs unique awards that resonate with runners.”
Said Kim Ashworth, Vice President/Chief Marketing Officer, Ashworth Awards, “We are thrilled to support ATRA for our second year as the Preferred Awards Partner of ATRA’s Event Standards Program. Ashworth Awards believes that it is important to give back to our sport and be involved on every level. We are not only manufacturers in the endurance sports industry, but we are athletes ourselves! We understand what athletes expect to receive at the finish line. They train so hard and deserve the best awards and medallions when they finish! I look forward to our partnership helping events provide long lasting mementos for athletes to treasure years after they race their event! ”
For over 50 years, Ashworth Awards has been a go-to resource for race directors, event coordinators, coaches, and industry leaders with their recognition products and awards. By providing the highest quality manufacturing and materials, unbeatable pricing, custom designs, and industry leading customer service they have created a seamless experience, assisting in recognizing their customer’s event participants as well as acquiring the proper recognition and exposure that events deserve.
