PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. — Rinnai Corp. provided free showers with endless hot water to more than 100 participants in the Tennessee Ragnar Relay Race, a 196.1-mile relay-style race completed by a team of 12 people in 24 hours. As teams stopped to change runners at South Middle School in Cowan, Tenn., participants were able to visit Rinnai’s mobile shower station and enjoy a refreshing hot shower before continuing on the next leg of the race.

“After running several miles on moderate or difficult terrain, nothing compares to a hot shower to relax and revive tired muscles,” said Kerri Walker, senior marketing manager for Rinnai. “Thanks to Rinnai’s tankless technology, we were able to guarantee that every Ragnar runner who visited our mobile shower station would have as much hot water as they needed. We’re thrilled to have provided these athletes with a touch of comfort while they pushed themselves through such a strenuous and challenging race.”

One of Rinnai’s condensing tankless water heaters provided the unlimited supply of hot water needed for the four mobile showers. Designed to heat water on-demand, the unit produced more than enough hot water for all participants who passed through the shower station. To make the shower experience even more enjoyable, Rinnai handed out goody bags to each shower user, which contained flip-flops, a towel, soap, and a plastic bag for dry items.
