Louisville, KY (August 23, 2016) – The Louisville Triple Crown of Running (LTCOR) today announced that the Louisville-based franchisee of Planet Fitness has signed on as the presenting sponsor of the popular three-race series. The Planet Fitness franchise led by brothers David and Rick Kueber owns and operates 25 Planet Fitness clubs in five states, including eight area clubs in Louisville and southern Indiana.
“We are excited to welcome Planet Fitness as our new title sponsor,” said Fred Teale, Rodes City Run Race Director and LTCOR spokesperson. “We think their focus on making fitness available to folks who may have never before belonged to a gym will help us continue to expand the number of participants in our three events.”
As part of the sponsorship, all Louisville-area Planet Fitness clubs will offer a training program beginning this fall, and help pay the entry fee for members who want to walk or run the events for the first time.
“Planet Fitness provides everyday people affordable access to great cardio and other workout equipment, in a clean and judgement free environment,” said Rick Kueber, CEO of the Louisville-based Planet Fitness franchise. “We are excited to partner with the Louisville Triple Crown of Running to give our members another way to improve their health, no matter where they might be in their fitness journey.”
