NEEDED - Sponsors for Foot Rx Frosty Foot 50k, 30k, & 8k

Please pass this along if you know any one who might be interested.

To: Potential sponsors of the Tsali Frosty Foot Challenge 8k, 30k, & 50k Races
Race date Jan. 7, 2012

RE: Information on sponsorship for 2012 Race

Thank you for taking the time to consider your sponsorship of this event!

To give a brief history of the Tsali Frosty Foot Races, I would start by stating that this event has taken place in the past (2009 & 2010), but this is my first year as race director (not my first time as a race director). There are three race distances to accommodate various abilities 8k, 30k, and 50k. The races drew 225 runners between the three events in 2010 (the race did not take place in 2011).

The three races will take place in the Tsali Recreation Area near Bryson City drawing runners from all over North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, & beyond! The race will be advertised in Blue Ridge Outdoors, Trail Runner Magazine, Ultra Runner Magazine, & The Running Journal.

My idea is to start with a cap of 75-100 runners in each race and to have 225-300 runners this year. I’m hoping to grow to 150 runners in each race over the next 3 years. At that point, I’d like to make a bid to have the race as a National Championship.

The proceeds of the race will benefit Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail.

Each sponsorship level is available for each of the three races (8k, 30k, & 50k) as each race will have a different t-shirt.

Once again, thank you for your consideration!
