Over the next few weeks we have calls with some a few other major companies in a variety of industries. Sponsors are the backbone of any event, especially first year events that have the high start-up costs of course mapping, course certification, certified traffic management plan, initial advertising, and a variety of others. With any luck I will be reporting back with some other major sponsor announcements and our official charity partner. With the response from our logo contest and sponsor support are comfortable moving ahead with our crowdfunding phase.
We are very lucky to have ResortQuest by Wyndham as our Expo Sponsor and Official Lodging Sponsor. This not only allows us the opportunity to put on a great runner's expo at the Emerald Coast Convention Center, it also allows the runners the opportunity to get great deals on all ResortQuest's awesome beach condos and houses!

With the response from our logo contest and sponsor support are comfortable moving ahead with our crowdfunding phase. We have chosen Indiegogo as our crowdfunding platform because it allows us to do an all or nothing campaign at a very fair cost and has a relatively high rate of success. The aim is to kick off this campaign with a band in the first week of May. Don't worry, you are going to hear a lot more details about this over the next month! Keep spreading the word about the Destin Marathon and we will keep you updated.
