By Ruthie Livingston


Do you have plans on hosting fun marathon even in your place as means to collect money in order for you to help a certain charity. With this, there are a lot of things you could do to generate a lot more money aside from the registration fee of your ever hyper active participants. You just have to use your creative mind and run your imagination so that your team can get more money.

With all those many things, one thing that you may do is to sell apparels. Since the event is a marathon, it will be good if you sell marathon races apparel clothes that is uniformly made and exclusive only for this event and your participants. They will definitely like this as they would entirely feel that they are in the marathon just by wearing the shirt.

Before the big day, you tell your participants that you are open to making customization of their apparel. Print their names in the parts of the shirt that they want to put it but make sure the logo of the event is also there. Always be open to the possibilities of selling these apparels in wholesale basis because youll generate more money through this than by item sale.

Most of your participants will come in group because they either run with their family, friends, or organization as a way to support your movement in helping that charity that is really in need of money. You might not know they want you to print a group shirt specifically made for the race. If they like to add their personal names on it, then let them pay an additional fee for that part to generate more income.

Running for kilometers is definitely a thirst quenching thing to do. So aside from just providing palatable water, you may invite water seller to sell bottles of water with your logo on it. If you think this is nearly impossible, then sell those bands that can hold bottled water as the runners run. They do not have to bring backpacks with them because the band could already hold for them the water they'll need.

You can also sell bands which could hold their cellular phones or music players. There are several runners who like to listen to music because it keeps them going. Thus, selling this kind of band will definitely help them.

If youre planning to invite only the professional runners for your event, then start printing the faces of the professional runners on shirts. These shirts will definitely sell out as their supporters will definitely support their idol.

If you plan to hold the race at night, then you could provide lighters the participants could put into their shirts or rather sell shirts with lighters. With this, you have not just made the people look cool but you also have created good visuals on the race. If youre able to peek on the view from high places, you will see very colorful lights running on a route.

There are many more ideas that you could think about in as means of selling your apparels. Just continue grinding your imaginative mind and develop ideas with your team. With this, you surely get good money to donate for the chosen charity.
