IRONMAN and Athletic Brewing Company Announce Three-Year Global Sponsorship Renewal

TAMPA, Fla. / MILFORD, Conn. (October 28, 2025) - IRONMAN and Athletic Brewing Company are proud to announce a renewed three-year global sponsorship. This extension solidifies Athletic Brewing's role as the Official Non-Alcoholic Beer of the IRONMAN® and IRONMAN® 70.3® Global Series through the 2028 season.

As part of the agreement, Athletic Brewing will continue its title sponsorship of two of the most iconic races in North America: the Athletic Brewing IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside and the Athletic Brewing IRONMAN Lake Placid triathlons. These events have become synonymous with world-class competitions, community celebrations, and the satisfying finish-line experience that Athletic Brewing delivers.

A variety of Athletic Brewing's flagship and seasonal brews will continue to be served at most IRONMAN Villages across the United States, Canada, and the UK, for athletes and spectators alike to enjoy.

"We are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Athletic Brewing, a brand that shares our commitment to celebrating active lifestyles," said Yanni Andreopoulos, Executive Vice President of Global Partnerships at The IRONMAN Group. "The Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic beer pour on the professional athlete podiums has quickly become an iconic race-day tradition, and we look forward to creating many more moments of celebration in our sport with Athletic by our side."

"Crossing an IRONMAN finish line is one of the greatest accomplishments an athlete can achieve, and we're proud to help celebrate those unforgettable moments with our award-winning brews," said Bill Shufelt, Co-Founder & CEO of Athletic Brewing. "IRONMAN athletes embody the same perseverance and commitment that inspire our team to push boundaries in non-alcoholic brewing. Our mission has always been to craft great-tasting brews for modern, mindful adults, and we're grateful to be part of a global endurance community defined by determination, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence."

Athletic Brewing's commitment to quality and innovation has earned the brand 185 prestigious taste awards. Through hundreds of small-batch trials, Athletic developed a revolutionary method for brewing non-alcoholic beer - re-engineering nearly every step of the brewing process with a dozen unique changes. This craftsmanship has made Athletic the most highly awarded non-alcoholic brewer of the past decade. Whether you're in training mode or celebrating at a finish line, Athletic invites everyone to enjoy its great-tasting brews without compromise.
