Steps towards being community based
First, got my offer on the app I put in yesterday. 24 hour turn-hour ain't bad! I already knew the decision so the offer's already been accepted.
I also registered for a business breakfast in my community. This is the stuff I've normally never done but I'm spending part of each day researching local events and things like this.
My next step now is I want to start sponsoring 3K and 5K races. I've run in a few 5Ks and normally the sponsors get a table set and all the runners come by to see what's up. It's like a mini trade show with give-aways but it doesn't tie up your whole day or weekend. Most of these races are Sunday morning.
I'm thinking of T-shirts with "Maryland Health Plans" and my web address. I think that might be pricey so I'll have to find out the cost. If not I'll look for other give-aways.

John, you may want to just piggy back on an established run. Depending on sponsorship level will determine amount of ad space on shirt/ banner and such. Sponsoring your own run is daunting and expensive. If you still plan on doing it hook up with a local charity that you believe in and utilize them. Win-Win deal. No matter good luck. Mibizinsurance
Yes, I didn't mean sponsoring the entire race - that would indeed be expensive. I meant being one of the sponsors. I run occasional races and the last 5K I ran had a sponsor tent with around 10 sponsors. I really can't think of a better group for a target audience then runners.
