June 27, 2017
SAN DIEGO, CA – ElliptiGO elliptical bicycles will take to the Stanford University track for a special exhibition race as part of the Tracktown Summer Series, which will be held this Thursday, June 29. The event will feature elite track athletes racing the world’s leading elliptical bicycles in what is widely considered the most recognizable and prestigious competition distance in track – the mile.
The presence of the ElliptiGO Mile at the Tracktown Summer Series is a natural one, according to Bryce Whiting, ElliptiGO Chief Enthusiast. “ElliptiGO is the top cross-training tool for countless elite, collegiate and high school runners, providing them with quality workouts without the pounding of running,” Whiting said. “We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our connection with the running community than to showcase our elliptical bikes at the high level Tracktown Summer Series meet.”
Two men and two women will compete in the ElliptiGO Mile, looking not only to win but to break the existing ElliptiGO records, which stand at 2:37.25 for men and 2:54.85 for women.
The ElliptiGO Mile will take place between the Men’s 3000 meters (7:30 p.m.) and Women’s 800 meters (7:45 p.m.). The race can be watched live at https://www.facebook.com/tracktown/.
