The Final Sprint, LLC, parent company of TheFinalSprint.com, HerActiveLife.com, HesFit.com, and TrailFit.com, this week announced that Dabbledoo Media has agreed to sell its ownership stake of the sports-and-recreation and health-and-fitness publishing group to co-owner Adam Jacobs, who’ll re-brand the family as TFS Media Network. The amicable parting allows both companies to focus on continued growth of core competencies, the former partners said. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

As Jacobs now takes on the role as CEO and president of the TFS Media Network, he’ll remain editor-in-chief of the flagship publication, TheFinalSprint.com. “We take great pride in our commitment to high-quality, provocative and honest reporting. I am passionate about leading the company to continued success based on these core values,” he said.

Since launching TheFinalSprint.com in May 2006, TFS Media Network has undergone significant expansions, including the introduction of three new publications, and achieved quarter-on-quarter growth in both readership and advertising revenue. With a network redesign, significant staff increases, innovative new features and two new publications planned for spring 2008, Jacobs has positioned TFS Media Network to attain sustainable long-term growth and a leading industry presence.
