PA Team Beef

Few foods deliver the unique nutrition profile found in beef, such as protein, iron, zinc and B vitamins. Beef’s nutrient package provides vital fuel for the activities you love and also promotes the growth, development and restoration of your muscles and bones as you train harder and become stronger.

As a member of PA Team Beef, you’ll have the opportunity to serve as a beef advocate that shares the message of beef for strength while participating in a variety of running, cycling or obstacle-course style races across the Commonwealth.

Who are the Members of PA Team Beef?

PA Team Beef consists of 25 athletes and fitness enthusiasts from Pennsylvania. We are a diverse community of runners, triathletes, farmers, moms, dads, college students and professionals that rely upon the health benefits of lean beef to fuel our healthy and active lifestyles. Crossing the finish line in our PA Team Beef Jerseys, brings a sense of great pride and accomplishment, as well as a sense of community that pushes us to become stronger.

How Does It Work?

New members of PA Team Beef will be supplied with a Team Beef jersey to wear in the pre-approved athletic event, such as a race. You must register for each event on your own.

After the race, simply send a picture of yourself wearing the Team Beef jersey at the completion of the event to [email protected] and fill out the reimbursement form. Jerseys must be worn during the ENTIRE event.

You will be reimbursed by check for entry fees up to $100 per year. All reimbursement requests for the 2023 team season must be in by September 15, 2023. 

NOTE: We will issue two checks to each member during the fiscal year (March and September) rather than a separate check following each event.

Application Process

The next team season kicks off March 1, 2023 and will conclude September 30, 2023.
