LAKEWOOD, Colo., March 31,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers® is proud to be
a returning sponsor for Colorado-based Rattler Racing in 2022. In
addition to being the largest family-operated organic and natural
grocery retailer in the U.S., Natural Grocers has a bike racing
team that will once again be racing and volunteering at this year's
Rattler Racing events – the first race being "The Bear" on
April 2nd at Bear Creek
Lake Park.
Based in Colorado, Rattler
Racing started in 2015 with a simple, grassroots, mid-week mountain
bike racing series. Little did they know they were surrounded by a
community that had a thirst for those events and more. Since then,
they've seen exponential growth in participation and began to add
new sanctioned events to their line-up including cyclocross, junior
focused races, a stage race, and a new gravel race for 2022. With
each season, their focus remains on putting together quality,
family-friendly events while maintaining the grassroots feel. It's
no surprise, then, that Natural Grocers (also based in Colorado), would align itself with Rattler
Racing.
"Natural Grocers has played a very important role for Rattler
Racing. As one of the original sponsors of our events, they play a
large part in helping us achieve our goals and continue to bring
great events to the community. We are excited to partner with
Natural Grocers and can't think of a better fit for our
organization," says Dave Muscianisi,
co-founder of Rattler Racing.
Participants of the Rattler Racing season kick-off can look
forward to getting a free Natural Grocers reusable goody bag and
Natural Grocers Brand Chocolate bar for a sweet, little post-race
reward[I]. Nutritional Health Coaches from Natural
Grocers will also be onsite to talk nutrition with athletes and to
hand out bottled water, coupons and Natural Grocers samples.
Founded in 1955, Natural Grocers has 161 stores in 20 states (41
of which are in Colorado). The
Company is known for caring deeply about the health and wellbeing
of its community, employees and planet. They believe that everyone
should be able to afford health and live in a thriving,
regenerative environment. Committed to quality, they sell only 100%
USDA-certified organic produce and exclusively pasture-raised,
non-confinement dairy products, and free-range eggs. To maintain
that "family-friendly" feel, Natural Grocers has flexible
smaller-store formats allowing it to offer affordable prices in a
shopper-friendly environment. As part of its "commitment to
Community," athletes might be interested to know that
Natural Grocers provides free science-based Nutrition
Education programs and health coaching.
The Natural Grocers Cycling Team has been a living,
pedaling extension of the Company's founding principles since 1987.
The squad has a broad range of riders, encompassing all disciplines
of cycling. With almost 100 members, you'll spot this team on the
trails, the roads, volunteering at events (like the Rattler Racing
events) and of courses at Natural Grocers stores all around the
country to support healthy living on and off the bike. The
accomplished, yet welcoming team invites cyclists to join them for
local club rides throughout Colorado, Arizona and Kansas
City.
