Sponsorship Opportunities

The Twin City Track Club works with local race organizers to help them make their events a success. One of the keys to a successful races is good sponsorship. Most races are held to promote awareness of an organization, and to raise money for good cause. Fees paid by runners only cover the basic expenses of a race, and sponsorship is essential for a race to survive and prosper.
