Perform pain reliever sponsors Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series

AKRON, Ohio Hygenic/Performance Health on Tuesday announced its Perform pain-reliever brand will be the official external analgesic for the 2010-2011 Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series.

The recently penned sponsorship deal will generate word-of-mouth for Perform pain reliever across 17 cities in the coming year. All Rock ‘n’ Roll Series events feature a two-day health and fitness expo prior to the event, which all participants must visit to pick up their race packets. It’s at those expos that Hygenics will have the opportunity to actively educate the very consumers who are likely to become heavier users.

Samples also will be placed in goodie bags given to each and every participant.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series also is known for lining race routes with live bands and cheerleaders, attracting high participant numbers and rocking post-race concerts. Today, the series of marathons and half-marathons is held in Chicago, Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, among other major metropolitan areas.

“Our client base is largely the so-called ‘weekend warrior’— someone who is extremely active in their free time,” stated Scott Matolka, director of marketing for Hygenic’s consumer retail marketing group. “Working with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Series really gives us the ability to communicate directly with those active, high-energy people who are likely to need and appreciate what Perform products offer.”
