some friends and i are wanting to start an elite club in our area, nothing like the Hansons program(yet). Something to help get runners together to train to make that step from being pretty good local runners, to being decent national runners(i.e. olympic trials mary qualifiers)we have the talent around here, just not the right type of training situation.
HOW DO WE GET SPONSORS. not anything huge like travel and living, just pay for uniforms and maybe race entry and possibly shoes. Do you write companies? call company managers? walk in and ask to talk to someone? How have you done this, If you have ever done this.
thanks for your help in advance!
