Sponsor Us
Howdy! We are seeking sponsors for the Brazos Runner Club - Boat of Fools. We are a nonprofit local running club committed to promoting exercise-based endeavors in our community. Since our inception in May of 2015, we have grown to be the largest running club in the Brazos Valley and have become the official training group for both the BCS Marathon and the Nutrabolt Half Marathon. As we continue to grow so do our aspirations to strengthen our community engagement. Any support you provide will help us achieve our goals to promote healthy living through exercise within the Brazos Valley. Your decision to sponsor our group is not only a great way to advertise your business to our 1000+ Facebook followers but also a great way for your business to engage with the BCS community.
