USA Bobsled Team To Race With Custom KOA Sled

Olympic Medalist & Big Sky State Games Torch Lighter Will Pilot Bobsled


BILLINGS, MT (December 16, 2010) – Kampgrounds of America, a prime sponsor of the gold-medal-winning United States Bobsled Team at the 2010 Winter Olympics, will be prominently featured when the U .S. Bobsled Team competes in the World Cup Bobsledding event Saturday, December 18 at Lake Placid, New York.

Elana Meyers, a bronze medalist at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, will pilot the yellow, KOA-themed sled. Meyers also was a special guest during the Big Sky State Games in Billings in July.

“We’re thrilled to again be able to play a role in the success of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Teams,” said KOA CEO Jim Rogers. “To have the team race in a Kampgrounds of America-themed sled makes it all the more special. We know the team will continue its resurgence as a power in world bobsled competition, and it’s wonderful to be able to share in that.”

The Lake Placid World Cup event will not be broadcast live, but will be shown by NBC Universal the following weekend.

Kampgrounds of America Inc. was founded on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana in 1962. Now the world’s largest open-to-the-public system of family campgrounds, KOA has 473 locations in the United States and Canada.
