Tim Nooney - Being a Professional Trail Runner - Episode 220

Running Is Life Podcast

Tim Nooney runs for a couple of companies, but his main sponsor is La Sportiva. La Sportiva was my first contractual trail specific sponsor back in 2008. In this episode, we discuss what it means to be sponsored, and what are the responsibilities that come along with a sponsorship, and what the brands are doing to sport not only athletes, but our sport and our world in general!

Tim's been on other podcasts as well:

Flight of the Falcon 24 Hour Event

On Aug. 3, 2024, I'm excited to bring The Flight of the Falcon 24 Hour Event to the West Henderson High School Track!

This is a fundraising event for the West Henderson high School Cross Country and Track & Field Teams. Entry fee is $200 and we ask each participant to raise an additional minimum of $250 to go into a building fund for the athletes locker rooms (currently they do not have anywhere to change or store their belongings during practice).

25 Participants will have 24 hours to complete as much distance as they can. Running direction will switch every four hours.

Each Participant will receive:

1. One Pair of Goodr Sunglasses thanks to our friends at Foot Rx

2. A hooded sweatshirt with name & distance accomplished on sleeve (shipped after completion of event of course)

3. Food & drinks during the event

Awards:

• Those that finish 50k will receive a local handmade mug

• Those that finish 50-miles to 100k will receive the mug and a embossed belt

• Those that finish 100-miles will receive the mug, the belt, and a race logo belt buckle

Participants are allowed 2 crew members at the event. Weighted 10 x 10 (no stakes) are permitted on the infield of the track.

Other Event Taking Place

West Henderson HS athletes will be running throughout the event. We'll have 2 hour blocks for them to participate in small numbers so as to not affect those running in the 24 hour event.

Facility

The location includes:
-PA for music & announcements
-Restrooms
-Parking
-Concession Stand for Food & Drink
-Infield for each runners tent
-Lighting for night running
