Sponsorship Elibible Events
Endurance truly is a relative term.
If you are a cancer survivor, endurance may mean getting through the next hour of chemo. If you are the parent of one our kids with a brain tumor, endurance can be just getting through the next hour watching the chemo...
For all of us, Endurance can be defined in a single event or a grueling season. If the farthest you have run is 10k, a marathon would certainly be an endurance goal for you. So, no matter what the distance, we welcome you to push yourself to the next level!
The Endurance Trust is dedicated to helping athletes of all disciplines who are willing to “go the extra mile” in a literal sense - if you are willing to challenge yourself beyond what you ever thought you were able to accomplish, we want you on our team!
Although we cater to runners, swimmers, bikers (road and MTB), triathletes and adventure racers doing distances beyond the norm in single events, shorter events also qualify for sponsorship!
Some of the individual events we hope you will all aspire are listed below:
For Runners: single day events beyond marathon distance and multi-day expedition stage racing.
For Swimmers: distances of 10km and beyond, open ocean and rough water events.
For Road Bikers: single day events beyond century ride, multi-day stage events and expedition racing
For Mountain Bikers: 24 Hour and beyond multi-day stage events and expedition racing.
For Triathletes: Iron Distance and beyond
For Advenure Racers: 24 Hour and beyond multi-day stage events and expedition racing.
Remember - even if you are not tackling these distances just yet, your season of shorter events is eligible! We know that for each of us, we ran a marathon before we ran a 50 miler, we rode a 4 hour MTB race before we hit the 24 hour and we race a Sprint Triathlon long before the first Iron Distance was tackled!

If you have any questions about whether an event is eligible, just shoot us an e-mail with the specifics and an e-mail link.
Individual Efforts and Shorter Events that have “Extreme” Endurance Characteristics (Weather, Terrain, Altitude, Time Constraints, Currents, etc.) should be submitted in writing for consideration.
Extreme personal challenges are always welcome and encouraged and will be reviewed on an individual basis to determine their viability, eligibility and to what extent The Endurance Trust can assist and/ or Sponsor.
