Sponsering Question

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Are you looking for a sponsor for cycling or for running? If you want a sponsor for cycling, there aren't any legalities you need to go through (except maybe paying club dues). I would find a club/team that has a lot of women riders and who support each other in training/racing.

Are you looking for a sponsor , i can't understand, can you define it!

Sorry, I this tendency to think that the thoughts in my brain come out in a way that everyone understands! Ah, good thing my hubby loves this quirk...or at least accepts it. HAHAHA

I'm trying to see how to have companies sponser you as a racer. Like in NASCAR. All the logos on the car mean that those companies have paid the car driver money to have those logos on the car. Meaning that when you go to race, you are not out any money for supplies. Like bike equipment, uniforms, flyers, etc.

I didn't know if there was a legal issue to this or I just go up to a company, say, "hey, if you give me money, I'll advertise on my jersey for you during the race." and they cut me a check. I didn't know if I had to set up a tax form/account, etc.

If I'm still not making sense, I'll just hang my head in shame and go away! lol

Thanks again!

Since cycling is generally a team sport (with the exception of triathlons I guess), companies usually sponsor teams instead of individuals. Different teams provide differing levels of "support" for their riders in terms of equipment, race registration fees, etc. A good team, however, will provide you will teammates, and a training regimen/facilities at the very least, and usually a discount on bike parks at an affiliated shop.
