HOUSTON, August 13, 2001: Runner Triathlete News (RTN) has purchased Inside Texas Running (ITR), a staple on the Texas running scene for over 24 years. The sale is effective immediately with the September 2001 issue being published under the new ownership.

"We see a definite niche for both publications in the running and multi-sport market and will continue Inside Texas Running on its regular publishing schedule," said Loran R. Sheffer, publisher of Runner Triathlete News.

Along with purchasing ownership of Inside Texas Running, the new ownership also acquired the popular magazine web site www.insidetexasrunning.com and TexStats, which serves as the official road running record keeper for the state of Texas.

Both publications are based in Houston. Joanne C. Schmidt, who has been publisher/editor of ITR for its entire 24 years of existence, plans to pursue other endeavors. She will continue to work with the publication until the transaction has been fully assimiliated into the acquiring organization.

Runner Triathlete News has been publishing for 17 years. RTN covers the running and multi-sport events in the five-state area of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
