2014 ATHLETE GUIDE

RACEQUEST TRAVEL

WELCOME TO ATLANTIC CITY

“The best part about RaceQuest Travel … was the Staff. They really cared, genuinely, about my success and happiness during my stay. Pretty amazing experience and you are doing something very special. A part of me selfishly hopes no one finds out about RaceQuest so I can keep it all to myself.” – Dustin Hinton, RaceQuest Travel client at IRONMAN® Florida 2013

Krista Baker-Scheyer CEO, Co-Founder

Kelli Eldridge Director of Marketing, Co-Founder

Scott Coey Athlete Ambassador, Co-Founder

O n behalf of everyone at RaceQuest Travel, our professional athletes and support staff, we want to welcome you to the inaugural Challenge Atlantic City! Our program to support your race week has been in the works for many months, because we want you to enjoy every aspect of your time here. This guide includes helpful information to acquaint you

with our schedule of events, our staff, partners, and what you can expect when traveling with RaceQuest.

As RaceQuest founders, we are triathletes ourselves, taking on “halfs” and “fulls” (and more!) around the world—from Challenge Family, IRONMAN® , and even Norseman. We speak your language, and we understand the unique challenges and demands placed on you as a traveling triathlete. Our mission is to provide you with services that will help set the stage for your best race experience ever! So get those feet up, relax, and if there’s something you need help with during your stay, just ask.

With warm regards from your RaceQuest Travel Co-Founders,
