San Diego, CA – Triathlete, the world’s leading triathlon media property, today announced that Erin Beresini has been named editor-in-chief, effective immediately.
Beresini will oversee all Triathlete content in both print and digital, reporting to John Bradley, SVP of Media at Competitor Group, Inc. (CGI). Former editor-in-chief Julia Polloreno will remain a contributor to the brand, serving as editor-at-large.
“We’re thrilled to have Erin taking over Triathlete,” Bradley said. “She’s a passionate advocate not only of triathlon but of active lifestyles in general, and has years of high-level media experience promoting these sports and lifestyles. She’s also incredibly enthusiastic about everything she does, and we can’t wait to turn her loose on the Triathlete brand.”
Beresini has an impressive and accomplished career in the multisport world, most recently working as Outside magazine’s online staff writer, focusing on endurance sports. She previously worked as a senior editor of Competitor magazine.
In 2014, Beresini authored the book Off Course: Inside the Mad, Muddy World of Obstacle Course Racing. She is a world champion triathlete, ultrarunner, and four-time Ironman finisher. Her byline has appeared in Triathlete, Outside, The New York Times, and Men’s Health, among other national outlets, where she developed an impressive network of contacts throughout the endurance sports industry.
“I have always loved writing for Triathlete as a freelancer, so this is truly a dream opportunity to be leading the team,” said Beresini. “With a new website on the horizon and some of America’s best triathletes competing at the Olympics in Rio, it’s an exciting time in the history of the brand.”
