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.
