ZOOMA Announces Partnership with Stella Valle
ARLINGTON, VA, March 9, 2015— Today, ZOOMA Women’s Race Series announces a partnership with Stella Valle, a
jewelry line co-founded by sisters who are former U.S. Army Officers and West Point graduates.
ZOOMA, the first national women’s half marathon series, will host nearly 14,000 women at eight races in 2015.
With a mission to inspire women to live healthy and active lives, ZOOMA races are designed to empower and inspire
women to push themselves to accomplish a challenging goal. After the race, ZOOMA’s post-race party offers a
chance to celebrate with friends with wine, massage, live music, shopping, and lots of girls’ weekend energy.
Sisters Ashley Dellavalle Jung and Paige Dellavalle Walker co-founded the jewelry line, Stella Valle, in 2009 after
graduating from West Point and serving as U.S. Army Officers. The unique designs pair strong, geometric shapes
with delicate feminine details to portray the sisters’ past, present, and future. After Stella Valle succeeded on ABC’s
hit TV show Shark Tank, they now claim mega moguls, Lori Greiner and Mark Cuban, as partners. As part of the
partnership with ZOOMA, Stella Valle will be providing jewelry for ZOOMA race winners at all remaining 2015 races.
Ashley and Paige will also attend the ZOOMA Annapolis race on May 30 and will speak at the pre-race Fitness Expo
on May 29.
Stella Valle partnered with ZOOMA to continue to carry out their mission--to inspire women to be strong and
confident, and to achieve their goals and dreams.
“Stella Valle is all about empowering women,” said Brae Blackley, ZOOMA’s Founder and President. “Ashley and
Paige, Stella Valle’s founders, are incredibly smart and strong women, who inspire me personally. I know our
partnership with Stella Valle is going to be great for ZOOMA runners.”
“ZOOMA’s mission is closely aligned with our own, which is to inspire women to be strong and confident,” said
Ashley Dellavalle Jung, Stella Valle Co-Founder and Designer. “We’re thrilled about the opportunity to be a part of
the ZOOMA community in 2015.”
ZOOMA is dedicated to promoting women’s running by challenging women to tackle a big goal—then celebrating
with friends at a unique post-race party including wine, live music, massage, and shopping. Eight ZOOMA events will
be held in locations around the U.S. in 2015, including Amelia Island, FL; Austin, TX; Annapolis, MD; Chicago, IL;
Napa, CA; Cape Cod, MA; Nashville, TN and two locations to be announced in April.

About Stella Valle
Founded in 2009, Stella Valle reflects the designers Paige Dellavalle Walker’s and Ashley Dellavalle Jung’s pursuit to live out their lifelong
aspirations in fashion and design despite their unique past. Capitalizing on their military background, they fused their mechanical training
with a strong, diverse aesthetic sense -- And with the desire to create a brand that represented their innate sense of style and unique
background came Stella Valle.
In May 2013, Paige and Ashley were featured on the ABC’s hit TV show Shark Tank. During the show, Stella Valle secured an investment and
became partners with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner. The support from Mark and Lori has helped propel the Stella Valle brand.
Just like the designers, the line perfectly marries masculine and feminine characteristics. The strong lines and geometric metalwork
represent their strength and military past. These masculine design elements are balanced by feminine details and dainty crystals to portrait
their inherent femininity and fashion future. For more information, visit www.stellavalle.com # # #
