COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Triathlon announced relationships with special-rate life insurance agency Health IQ as a corporate partner, and race wheels manufacturer State Cycling Wheels as a supplier for the USA Paratriathlon National Team.

Health IQ works with some of the top insurance carriers in the country to offer special rates on life insurance* to triathletes and others who engage in an active lifestyle. As a licensed insurance agency in all 50 states, Health IQ has helped thousands of health-conscious individuals secure billions of dollars in life insurance coverage.

“We believe the best way to improve the world’s health is to celebrate the health conscious through social and financial rewards,” said Munjal Shah, Founder of Health IQ. “We know that endurance athletes value their health and are committed to taking care of their bodies. Partnering with USA Triathlon is something that we are very excited about, as triathletes of all levels embody the Health IQ mission.”
