Four-year partnership brings together two entities dedicated to
keeping America on the move
Union Pacific Railroad today announced a four-year partnership
with US Speedskating, the organization dedicated to supporting
speed skaters from local clubs to the Olympics.
US Speedskating, along with the US Speedskating National Team,
is based near Salt Lake City, Utah, a state with long historical
ties to Union Pacific and home to approximately 1,200 of the
company’s employees.
“This partnership brings together two iconic brands with shared
values and a passion for winning,” said Union Pacific President
Beth Whited. “We’re excited to support these exceptional athletes
as they race to the finish line.”
The sponsorship, which runs through March 2028, includes Union
Pacific internship opportunities for athletes preparing for
post-skating careers.
“US Speedskating is dedicated to the success of our athletes
from the first time they step on the ice to all they will
accomplish after their skating careers,” said Ted Morris, Executive
Director of US Speedskating. “Our partnership with Union Pacific
will be crucial to supporting that success on and off ice.”
The first event featuring Union Pacific as a team sponsor will
held be next month in Salt Lake City, when the 2024 Short Track
World Tour gets underway. Additional upcoming events in Salt Lake
City include the 2024 Short Track Four Continents Championships and
the 2025 Short Track U.S. Championships.
Union Pacific has had a rich history in Utah since the
transcontinental railroad’s completion at Promontory Summit in
1869. Since then, the state remains a vital crossroads on Union
Pacific’s 23-state network.
