Jamba Juice®, the industry leader in blended-to-order smoothies and fresh squeezed juices will be the title sponsor for the City of Los Angeles Triathlon, scheduled for Sept. 10, 2000, and expected to be one of the largest triathlons in the country.

“Adding Jamba Juice, whose mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle falls directly in line with what the sport of triathlon is all about,” said Jack Caress, event chairman and race director for the Jamba Juice City of Los Angeles Triathlon. “This comprehensive agreement is another indication of how the sport of triathlon is rapidly growing. As someone who has been active in the sport since its inception over 20 years ago, I don’t recall a more comprehensive sponsorship deal. With Jamba Juice on board we now have all the elements to make this triathlon the world class event we all know it can be.”
