Athletes to be Fueled by Innovative Performance Beverage at the REVOLUTION3 Quassy Triathlon This Weekend

MIDDLEBURY, Conn., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletes participating in the Quassy REVOLUTION3 Triathlon series this weekend will remain hydrated and replenished throughout the events with support from CeraSport. A new generation hydration and performance drink from Cera Products Inc., CeraSport is the official hydration and performance beverage of the REVOLUTION3 Quassy Olympic Rev and Half Rev Triathlons being held June 5 and 6 in Middlebury, Conn. Available at nearly 30 hydration stations throughout the Olympic and Half Rev courses, CeraSport in convenient Tetra Pak carton packages will give race goers the hydration and energy they need to ensure they finish the race strong.

Developed along with physicians from Johns Hopkins University and with the athlete in mind, CeraSport is a rice-based rehydration and energy drink that restores fluids and electrolytes, boosts recovery time and maximizes performance. CeraSport is different from other sports drinks currently out on the market, as the product contains no added simple sugars or fruit juices. Plus, its gluten-free formula won't cause cramping or other negative side effects.

"I like life simple and racing causes enough butterflies in my stomach as it is. CeraSport is easy on the stomach and digests easy and simple," says professional triathlete and CeraSport user Bree Wee. This product will also be consumed by the elite athletes this weekend, including Mirinda Carfrae, who placed second at Kona this year.

Consumers of CeraSport can be proud of taking care of their own health as well as the health of the environment. The product is packaged in Tetra Pak cartons, which are made mainly from paper, a renewable resource, and are light weight and compact. Thanks to the unique aseptic technology from Tetra Pak, the cartons allow for a long and stable shelf-life – without the need for preservatives or refrigeration – making CeraSport both a healthy and convenient option for any on-the-go athlete.

The REVOLUTION3 Quassy Triathlon is a truly interactive experience for athletes and spectators alike. On race day, Quassy – a 20-acre amusement park – is opened exclusively to athletes, race volunteers, family and friends. Race spectators enjoy front row access to the action via stage screens that stream footage from six cameras strategically placed throughout the course, as well as real-time GPS athlete tracking. The next REV3 race will be in September at Cedar Point in Ohio.
