Zoot Sports, the triathlon apparel brand, welcomed over 600 new athletes to Team Zoot.

“Everything we stand for as a brand is exemplified by the members of Team Zoot,” said Shawn O’Shea, owner, Zoot Sports. “The athlete is the center of our sport, and because of that, at the center of our brand.

When we re-launched the brand last year, we could never have predicted the way our athletes would embrace us. It’s been an incredible year of transition for Zoot that without the support of our athletes, would not have been possible. We are honored to announce the 2019 Team Zoot members and partners as we continue to solidify our commitment to the sport of triathlon.”

Team Zoot will continue to be supported by a lineup of the industry’s most elite brands. 2019 partners include returning brands Canyon, Garmin, Smith Optics, Zealios Skin Care & Sun Protection, Speedfil Products, Ottolock, ORR Carbon Wheels and BOCO Gear. New to the 2019 lineup are BASE Performance, Theragun, Gatorade Endurance and Giddy Up Multisports.

The team will officially kick off the 2019 season in Carlsbad, California with Zoot’s Team Camp, hosted by Ironman Champion, Michellie Jones, and Giddy Up Multisports. “The Giddy Up team is incredibly excited to work with Team Zoot for the 2019 racing season,” says Jones. “Zoot athletes are full of heart, passion and drive – the dream for any coach!”

Split into geographic regions, the US team will be led by 14 team captains who will work to organize activities and build community within their respective areas. Throughout 2019, team members will be wearing limited edition Zoot Custom race kits and training gear on and off the course. Team Zoot activities can be followed at zootsports.com.
