Revolutionizing the /Runner Relationship CREATE A RELATIONSHIP WITH RUNNERS WHEN IT MATTERS MOST, WHEN THEY ARE TRAINING! Why wait until race weekend to introduce your product to marathon participants? Beginning in January, we will be mailing out our runner packets with sponsor products and information on a weekly basis! Creating a relationship between our sponsors and runners that will begin at registration and will last through the event! Not only will runners have a chance to incorporate sponsor products into their training, but they will also receive subsequent offers throughout the year from our sponsors via email and social media! What about the Expo? No need to worry, all participants will still need to visit the Expo in order to receive their bib. Of course, this will also be a great time for them to stop by your booth and load up on more product for race day!
