Sponsoring the Laker Loop Half-Marathon
Sponsorship will promote building this event into a top-tiered experience for all involved. All proceeds go directly to
costs for this race and Spring Lake cross country/track programs. Our athletic budgets have been taking a hit over
the past few years. Excitingly, our running programs have seen record growths over the decade. With this growth
comes a financial need to help our programs be our best. Here are items we wish to focus with your sponsorship:
-Establish a team scholarship fund which will cover costs of our four-day cross country team camp due to financial
hardship/burdens. Our wish is to provide an opportunity for all runners to be a part of this experience, this
scholarship will assure that.
-Provide new equipment for our middle school track program. Items being explored are hurdles, mats, blocks, and throwing implements.
-Focus on equipment to help with athlete recovery and overall strength.
-Additions to our current high school track. Although our track is less than ten years old, we currently cannot host a regional meet due to facility requirements. Items such as lights, seating, and a timer are all desired items.
This event and your sponsorship will make this happen. The event will provide finisher shirts, a finisher medal, age
division awards, and officially timed by Runner’s Edge Race Timing. We will still provide a free event for any Spring
Lake student who runs the Laker Loop Half Marathon. This was the original intent of the event, so we are going to
continue that. We will have SLPS students find a sponsor (if they choose the free event) to help cover their cost.
Lastly, we will continue to make the event affordable for all runners. We have explored fees throughout the state
comparable to this event and found our race fee of $40 ($50 late fee) is lower than all researched. A typical half
marathon runs a price range of $50-90.
Thank you for your consideration!
