The Beat the Recession Trail Running Series is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors!

TITLE SPONSOR:

We are delighted to announce that Investors Group has signed on as title sponsor of the Beat the Recession Race Series, alongside Pearl Izumi as our presenting sponsor. Investors Group in particular has a keen interest in our “Beat the Recession” mantra. Their focus is on financial planning – ranging from retirement readiness, education funding, managing taxes and building financial portfolios. In fact, Investors Group advisors will actually be on site at many of the races this summer offering advice and support to racers. Come out and meet your local Investors Group representative to learn about the ways you can better manage your money in turbulent times. Welcome Investors Group!

 

PRESENTING SPONSOR:

In 2009 we're delighted to be working with Pearl Izumi as our presenting sponsor. Pearl Izumi is an established and respected manufacturer of running, cycling and active outdoor apparel and shoes. Pearl Izumi's extensive line of trail running footwear was a natural fit with the Recession Race concept. The sponsorship will provide Pearl Izumi with the opportunity to showcase its shoes and apparel to both new and experienced trail runners and walkers.
