Come out to Washington, DC, next month and support a world class cause. The 6th Annual Nation?s Triathlon will take place on Sunday, September 11, 2011 to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In its short existence, the race has raised over $ 8 million dollars for the foundation and it is the only triathlon in the country to benefit research towards a cure for blood cancers.
The Jackson Clinics is the official physical therapy provider at the Nation's Triathlon for third year in a row. This award winning clinic is an integral part to the success of this event and will provide over 30 professional volunteers on race day to provide post-race care.
?We are pleased to have The Jackson Clinics serve as the official physical therapy sponsor for the 2011 Nation?s Triathlon,? noted Molly Quinn, producer of the event. ?The Nation?s Triathlon became America?s most popular international distance triathlon event in 2010, when we broke the Guinness World Record for the number of participants. That achievement is due, in no small part, to the stellar race experience we offer triathletes thanks to sponsors like The Jackson Clinics.?
The weekend event will kick off with The Nation?s Triathlon Sports and Fitness Expo. The Expo will take place at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington DC on September 9th (12pm to 8pm) and 10th (9am to 7pm). Admission is free and the event is open to the general public. The Expo will be the go to location for triathletes to pick up their race packets, attend optional race briefings, and receive official race merchandise. The Jackson Clinics will be present and creating quite a BUZZ at the Expo by offering free haircuts for anyone to ?get their race head on? prior to the triathlon. For every buzz cut, The Jackson Clinics will donate $ 5 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Physical therapists will also be present to answer any questions and hand out information regarding professional services offered at the clinics such as Bike Fittings and Running Exams.
Physical therapists from The Jackson Clinics will be providing post-race therapy on the day of the race for all competitors at the Athlete Services Tent. Post-race care has improved tremendously over the years. Experts at The Jackson Clinics are leading the way with spinal, joint and soft tissue stretching to help all athletes after the race. Stretching plays a vital role after strenuous exercise and can decrease the risk of injury, increase range of motion and release muscle tension. For any questions on appropriate post-race care contact a professional at The Jackson Clinics location near you.
