TO is seeking a cyclist and runner to join with him on a relay team to benefit Team RWB at the inaugural Challenge Atlantic City on June 29, 2014.
For his part in the 140.6 mile Challenge race, O'Donnell will complete the 2.4 mile swim in the back bays of Atlantic City, the team cyclist will ride the fast and flat 112 mile bike course, and the runner will cover 26.2 miles, finishing on the historic boardwalk of Atlantic City.
The relay slots will be auctioned on eBay, with the auction opening on May 22nd and closing on May 27th. All proceeds will directly benefit Team RWB and their mission to transform the reintegration of wounded veterans into society through sport and social engagement. Prize packages include:
O'Donnell explains, "We think of triathlon as an individual sport, but it's also an incredibly supportive community working together to encourage and celebrate one another. Racing as part of a relay team in a Challenge Family event to raise funds for the courageous veteran athletes of Team RWB, demonstrates the spirit of encouragement and celebration in our sport. I'm looking forward to a great swim at Challenge Atlantic City, passing my timing chip to my teammate in T1, and then cheering on my team and all the athletes on the course."
Blayne Smith, Executive Director of Team RWB stated, "Team RWB is fortunate and proud to count Tim O'Donnell as a member, coach, and advisor of our organization. We are so thankful to Tim and his sponsors for their generous support and for allowing us to be a part this great event."
Rob Vigorito, Event Director for Challenge Atlantic City remarked, "Timothy's relay team helps us to highlight the 'Challenge Your Self, Race for a Cause' theme that we fully embrace at our inaugural Challenge Atlantic City race weekend. We offer a top quality race experience that athletes have come to expect from Challenge races and can guarantee that Timothy and his teammates will have an unforgettable experience in the course of raising money for Team RWB."
