CALHOUN, Ga. Oct. 27, 2017— A 30-second commercial created by Mohawk Industries to highlight its involvement with the 2017 Icy Hot IRONMAN® 70.3® World Championship Chattanooga, Tenn. recently aired on the popular NBC Sports Network (NBCSN). The spot, produced internally by Mohawk’s Creative Solutions team, was broadcast during the Icy Hot IRONMAN® 70.3® World Championship special that aired earlier this month ahead of the 2017 IRONMAN® World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

The commercial was originally created in conjunction with Mohawk’s sponsorship to communicate the unique partnership between the leading global flooring manufacturer and the world-class name in sports, health and fitness.

As a part of Mohawk’s supplier sponsorship, Mohawk Group provided broadloom carpeting for all transition areas and Durkan Synthesis Ripple PDI carpeting featuring IRONMAN® 70.3® and Mohawk Industries logos.

“From start to finish, our executive leadership, creative and marketing departments have been very pleased with the outcome of this collaboration, a true team endeavor,” said Kevin Wildes, vice president commercial marketing for Mohawk Group, the commercial division of Mohawk Industries. “This TV spot serves to communicate our shared belief that we believe in better health and wellness for our people, our customers and our partners around the world.”

In addition to donating flooring, Mohawk also provided employee volunteers to tend one of the aid stations along the race course, which included a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run through southern Tennessee’s “Scenic City.”
