Stromlo Partners with Time National Champion
THURSDAY, 22 JANUARY 2009
Stromlo Forest Park signed a sponsorship deal with Jared Rando, a multiple time National mountain bike champion, coinciding with the 2009 Australian MTB National Championships also being held at the Park this week.
"Territory Venues and Events is extremely excited about Jared Rando signing up with Stromlo Forest Park, a synergy that we feel goes hand in hand," said Neale Guthrie, General Manager of Territory Venues and Events.
"Jared Rando is very well known amongst fellow MTB champions and within the MTB networks both locally and internationally."
"The relationship with Stromlo Forest Park being home to several mountain bike championship events including last year's SCOTT Australian 24hr and the UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships to be held in September this year also highlights the fact that this agreement is a perfect match," said Mr Guthrie.
In tandem with the exciting sponsorship deal, Stromlo Forest Park also welcomes the Australian Mountain Bike National Championships, showcasing the best off road riding in Australia across all disciplines. Australian riders will be challenged in cross country riding, cross country short course action and 4X, competing with world class riders in adrenaline pumping races.
Jared Rando began racing Downhill when he was 15 years old and was first selected for the Australian team for the World Championships when he was 16. He has competed for Australia as a junior for three years and finished third at the 1999 World Championships in Sweden.
His first year as a pro in the US was in 2000 and he finished 7th overall in the US National Series for 2000, as well as winning the Australian National Series for the 1999/2000 season and the 2000/2001 season.
In 2003 Jared Rando signed a two year deal with Giant and has been with Giant ever since.
"In signing the sponsorship agreement with Stromlo Forest Park, Jared will represent Canberra's world class venue on a world stage, also marking a new stage in the parks development. We're looking forward to the partnership and looking forward to working with Jared," concluded Mr Guthrie.
