Swiftwick Joins The Gran Fondo National Championship Series Circuit for 2016
BRENTWOOD, TN & FREDERICK, MD (PRWEB) February 02, 2016 -- Swiftwick is continuing to show their commitment to cycling sports by signing on as a national sponsor of the Gran Fondo National Championship Series® (GFNCS), the country’s only national race/ride circuit, for the entire 2016 series.
Swiftwick socks are designed by athletes for athletes and manufactured entirely in the United States. Launched in 2008, Swiftwick has been a long-time favorite of riders in every category of amateur and professional cycling. With the national GFNCS sponsorship agreement, Swiftwick recognizes and embraces the growing sport of gran fondo riding.
“The physical demands required to participate in a gran fondo are significant," said Chuck Smith, president of Swiftwick. “This is why so many cyclists choose our compression sock technology to provide comfort and support during their big rides. We are excited to become a sponsor of the Gran Fondo National Championship Series®.”
Every GFNCS event offers courses covering 30, 60 and 100-mile journeys through some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in endurance sports. Timed sections allow riders to compete in specific segments of the course and best overall time, while casual cyclists can ride at their own pace. Participants can ride as an individual or a team. GFNCS awards special prizes to the top riders in every age and gender category.
“We’re always striving to provide the best to our riders, from providing the best cycling routes in the nation to helping our riders find product to make their experience the best it can be. GFNCS is committed to quality, and Swiftwick is a perfect match,” said Reuben Kline, founder and president of the Gran Fondo National Championship Series®. “Our partnership with Swiftwick allows us to introduce our riders to the best compression sock technology available while expanding our reach among endurance sports enthusiasts.”
