"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Teddy Roosevelt

The Organization

Gold sponsors will be awarded to all donors who give more than $10,000. That level of sponsorship will earn the donor prominent logo placement on the Start and Finish banners, which serve as backdrop for all photo opportunities. Donors who give at this level may also be eligible for advertising on an obstacle and signage leading up to the obstacle. Gold level donors will also be eligible to present awards to competitors and there will be an exclusive story as well as photos on our website naming the gold level sponsors. Gold sponsors will also have their logo placed on the t-shirts.

Silver sponsors will be from $5,000 to $9,999. Silver level sponsorships will receive part of an obstacle with another firm or individual, accompanying signage, and will be named on participant number/bibs. Silver level sponsors will also receive a listing on our website naming them as silver sponsors as well as their logo on t-shirts.

Bronze sponsors will be $500 to $4,999. A bronze level of sponsorship earns the donor part of an obstacle (sponsors can partner with other corporate sponsors to cosponsor an obstacle). Bronze sponsor will also receive smaller joint accompanying signage and their logo on t-shirts.

The Race

Entry fees will range from $50 per participant for the competitive division, $30 for noncompetitive entrants and $20 for all military personnel and first responders. Veterans will run free.

Funds for the race and program will be raised through grant writing and funding requests to local and national fund givers, working with local businesses to sponsor portions of the race course ($2,000 per obstacle, 12 obstacles at a minimum), entry fees and silent auctions of memorabilia.

A number of businesses within the community have already offered their support in the form of free or reduced cost services. These businesses include KLKN, SirkDot Innovations, West Gate Bank, Hang-Ups Gallery, Lilidahl Images and V2Content.
