Mohawk to Sponsor Ironman 70.3 World Championship

Calhoun, GA, August 30, 2017-As an official supplier of the 2017 Ironman 70.3 World Championship, Mohawk Industries will be supporting some of the world’s most elite athletes as they gather September 9 to 10 in Chattanooga, Tennessee for the competition of their lives.

More than 4,500 athletes representing more than 90 countries, regions and territories and ranging in age groups spanning 18 to 89 will participate in the world-famous long-distance triathlon. Mohawk Group’s Spectrum V30 commercial broadloom carpeting (in Blaze Red) will greet participants at all transition areas. Completing their race, competitors will stride across a finish line covered in Durkan Synthesis Ripple PDI carpeting featuring IRONMAN 70.3 and Mohawk Industries logos.

Mohawk will not just be providing the carpet. Employees have volunteered to spend a portion of their weekend to staff one of the aid stations along the race course. There, they will distribute water and nutrition while cheering on athletes as they take on a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run.
