Sponsored Membership
The Endurance Trust Sponsored Athlete Program is an exclusive opportunity for those with Competitive Membership in The Endurance Trust.
This program affords members sponsorships that will pay up to 100% of their eligible race entry fees.
The program is simple:
- You project your expenses for race entries - either for 1 race, 2 races or a whole season.
- Fill out the Sponored Athlete Form with all of the information about your races and your entry fee costs
- Based upon the amount, we help you set a goal for fundraising.
- We set up your on-line fundraising page through "Firstgiving"
- You start raising funds (we have some great ideas if you need help!)
- Train for your races.
- When you hit your goal we pay for your race fees. Go over the goal and you receive even more benefits. If you fall short... not that you will... we still help offset the costs based on what you raised!
- Wear the Kit, Patches, Hats and Gear in your race! Send us a Picture! Feel Good!
Whether you are an elite athlete or a mid-pack finisher, membership in The Trust ensures your eligibility for this program.
Endurance Race entry fees for 10km swims, 24 hour MTB races, Expedition Stage Runs, and Team Expedition Adventure Races – and everything in between - are eligible.
As our support base grows, we will be introducing other causes that are near and dear to our membership- the underlying thread will always continue to be our ability to help kids around the world who are overcoming life's hurdles!
