Lance Panigutti, Co-Founder of Without Limits Productions , better known as "GUTTI" has been competing at the highest level of triathlon for over 14 years, racing domestically and internationally as a profesional. Lance's passion for event production came during his college years while working as an ocean lifeguard at Compo Beach (Westport, CT). "I use to come up with rescue relays, rescue challenges, and things everyone else thought couldn't be done! My only regret is never rescue boarding across Long Island Sound. When I came back to the sport post college I took the same creative mentality and realized every race is a unique experience. You can shape and mold it any way you'd like, but what it comes down to in the end is giving people something they've never seen before. It's all about giving the athletes something that will test their sense of challenge, awaken their competitive spirit, and change their lifestyle in a positive light." Lance is a Level 2 USAT Certified Race Director and has directed 45 events.
Tony Panigutti, Co-Founder of Without Limits Productions has been involved in endurance sports for over 20 years. Beginning in sports from an early age, and most recently taking that passion to race directing. Coming from a swimming background growing up, Tony competed in his first triathlon in 1996, The Hyannis Sprint Triathlon on Cape Cod, where he was instantly hooked the second he got a glimpse of the finish line. Since that first triathlon Tony has competed in various distance ranging from local sprints, half iron distance races, to national championships. While triathlon is his main focus that doesnt stop him from cycling races, running events, skiing, mountain biking, and many other athletic pursuits. You're as likely to see him standing next to you at the starting line of your local race as you are holding the bullhorn at a Without Limits Event. "Tony has been a certified USAT Race Director for 3 years.
"It was such an incredible feeling to finish my first triathlon that I can remember it so vividly 14 years later. To organize events and see others achieve their goals and dreams is what race directing is all about.
WITHOUT LIMITS PRODUCTIONS
Without Limits Production was created in November of 2007, and incorporated shortly thereafter. It was after years of formulating and envisioning a triathlon race that plans were put it into motion. Lance and Tony have been attending and competing in Triathlon races around the world since 1996. After becoming tired with the complacency of the long standing Tri-series around the country, they decided to bring a fresh and innovative perspective to the sport they love. Their goal was to bring the events of thier youth, the TimeOut! Productions model of event production, to the Colorado scene.
Their sporting history encompasses collegiate swimming, cross country, cycling, cyclocross, XTERRA, & triathlons ranging from the local to national and pro/ITU events. Drawing from thier backgrounds and years of competition they were able to blend and weave so many different elements to together to create Without Limits Productions. In such a short time span their vision of a an event family that stands for affordability, innovation, and style has and continues to rapidly changed the Colorado market place.
In 2011 the Panigutti Brothers were proud and honored when their vision came full circle as Rich Havens of TimeOut! Productions passed the torch of the New England Triathlon Tour to Lance and Tony Panigutti. The inspiration and foundation for Without Limits Productions back in the fall of 2007 is now apart of the Without Limits Family!

Thank you for clicking on the Charitable Organization webpage to learn more about this component of the New England Triathlon Tour. Without Limits Productions is very proud and honored to work with many organizations in the production of these events. While many events advertise their charitable components and take donations for charities such as United Way, or Susan G. Komen For The Cure. We take a different approach to ensure our volunteer contributions stay within the local community.
Instead of organizing our events using an "All Volunteer" model, we work with local organizations such as the local Boy Scout Chapters, school sporting teams, honor students, and a variety of other local organizations. These groups come out to volunteer for the events and in return we make a charitable contribution to their organization or sports team. These volunteers get to help out with their local community in a fun and exciting event while raising money for their cause, all while gaining exposure to the great sport of Triathlon.
We can't say enough great things about all the groups we've had the honor of working with, and it's been great to see the direct benefit of their work over the years. Whether it's the new uniforms they need, sending a team to their championships, raising money to support their local chapter, or just gaining needed community service hours. We feel it's a symbiotic relationship in which these organizations can count on us to provide them the opportunity to raise funds by volunteering for an event, and we couldn't have the event without them.
So if your looking to raise money for your non-profit, sports team, Boy/Girl Scout Chapter, or any other local organization we'd love to have you at the next event. The communities where we host these events are great to us and this is our way of giving back while ensuring that these donations are supporting the local community.
If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please just reach out to us. Our contact information is on the "Contact Us" page of the website.
Have a great day and we look forward to working with all of you at the next event.
