I was wondering if a guy could set up a non profit or something of the sort that could pool donations from "sponsors" that could then provide the initial capital for someone that wanted to host a race. Say you come to me and have a race you want to host, my NPO provides a $5,000 scholarship to cover the initial fees etc. Said NPO would provide numbers and some other stuff splattered with the sponsors that contributed to the NPO. After the initial $5k or whatever is covered the remaining money gets split between NPO and host team.
This would leave the "host team" only liable for course set up etc. I know Endurance Promotions does a bunch of that stuff, just not sure how their business model is really set up.
I’ve had similar ideas floating through my mind. Happy to chat more on it too. Shoot me a PM if interested.
