CLEVELAND - iSportsWire -- As race day draws near, Tri CLE Rock Roll Run's 2026 Ambassador Team shares one final series of videos documenting their preparation, personal growth, and excitement ahead of Northeast Ohio's premier multisport event.

This year's Tri CLE Ambassador Team includes Alina Millie, Andy Tabor, Brad Seislove, Becky Krumhansl, Brandon States, Brooke Schwerha, Connor Mancini, Elise Turner, Johnny Del Balso, Kirsten Bardwell, Mo Collier, and Miranda Nenadovich.

This eclectic group of ambassadors represent the diversity of Northeast Ohio's multisport community. They include first-time multisport athletes, educators inspiring the next generation, parents balancing family and training, healthcare and software professionals, community leaders, musicians, and former collegiate athletes. Some discovered triathlon after significant life changes, while others learned new skills and pushed beyond their comfort zones to compete in their first multisport events. Their collective stories demonstrate that triathlon is not a "one size fits all" sport, and that the Tri CLE starting line welcomes every background, ability, and experience level.

Leading the ambassador group is Melanie Prohaska, Managing Member of Grit Races, who proudly calls herself the team's "Ambassador Mom." Through encouragement, connection, and support, Melanie has built an environment where ambassadors can share their stories, support other athletes, and build relationships throughout the Tri CLE community and beyond.

Among this year's ambassadors are athletes like Alina Millie, who is preparing for her first multisport experiences this season; Brad Seislove, a Cleveland-area school principal who encourages students and staff to challenge themselves through active living; Becky Krumhansl, who is passionate about helping beginners; Connor Mancini, who balances life as both an athlete and musician while encouraging others to rediscover their love of sport; Mo Collier, whose commitment to the sport grew from a determination to improve his long-term health; and Miranda Nenadovich, who taught herself to swim through online videos before completing her first triathlon in 2023, which was Tri CLE.

The ambassadors' final video series captures the excitement, anticipation, and preparation leading into race weekend while offering encouragement to those preparing for their own journey to the starting line. Whether someone is participating in their first triathlon or chasing a personal best, the ambassadors hope their stories encourage others to believe they can do something they may have once thought impossible.

Tri CLE invites participants, volunteers, spectators, and the community to follow the ambassadors' final updates on social media and join them on race day as Northeast Ohio's triathlon community comes together for another year of community, achievement, and of course fun.

The 6th annual Tri CLE Rock Roll Run will take place on Sunday, August 16th at Edgewater Park. For more information about Tri CLE, visit http://www.rockrollrun.com.
