Tim Nooney - Being a Professional Trail Runner - Episode 220

Tim Nooney runs for a couple of companies, but his main sponsor is La Sportiva. La Sportiva was my first contractual trail specific sponsor back in 2008. In this episode, we discuss what it means to be sponsored, and what are the responsibilities that come along with a sponsorship, and what the brands are doing to sport not only athletes, but our sport and our world in general! Tim's been on other podcasts as well: Adventure Jogger - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/tim-nooney-from-climbing-walls-to-breaking-through-them/id1512991688?i=1000653265500 Facing Vert - https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/034-lessons-learned-tim-nooney/id1683554617?i=1000638718873 Youtube Video from Psgah Players - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq0FUbjCyrw   Flight of the Falcon 24 Hour Event  On Aug. 3, 2024, I'm excited to bring The Flight of the Falcon 24 Hour Event to the West Henderson High School Track! This is a fundraising event for the West Henderson high School Cross Country and Track & Field Teams. Entry fee is $200 and we ask each participant to raise an additional minimum of $250 to go into a building fund for the athletes locker rooms (currently they do not have anywhere to change or store their belongings during practice). 25 Participants will have 24 hours to complete as much distance as they can. Running direction will switch every four hours. Each Participant will receive: One Pair of Goodr Sunglasses thanks to our friends at Foot Rx A hooded sweatshirt with name & distance accomplished on sleeve (shipped after completion of event of course) Food & drinks during the event Awards: Those that finish 50k will receive a local handmade mug Those that finish 50-miles to 100k will receive the mug and a embossed belt Those that finish 100-miles will receive the mug, the belt, and a race logo belt buckle Participants are allowed 2 crew members at the event. Weighted 10 x 10 (no stakes) are permitted on the infield of the track. Other Event Taking Place West Henderson HS athletes will be running throughout the event.
