So whats the best thing you have received at a race? I like towels because I do not have to use my nice towels as sweat rags on the trainer. Or what else would you like to receive?
Last race I got a Timex IM watch in the post race prize draw. Other things I’ve got include Hats, Shirts, Fuel Belts, Bottles of Hammer Gel and last year got a LG TT helmet. Also won a hard shell 3-wheel carrying case a few years ago.
Bottles of wine
Gift certificates to Peets Coffee
Socks
Bag of Ciff bars/shots
Cash
The Peets coffee is big here.

Two years in a row I won a jug of Hammer Gel at one of Mattoon Beach Multisport’s races. I got a nice towel in a swag bag somewhere that I use a lot. One place had Yankez with their logo on it, very nice.
A company like Yankz or Xtentex (http://www.xtenex.com/) may be willing to give you bulk pricing on some of their equipment.
Race belts are great. They’re like $2.50 bulk but EVERYONE NEEDS MORE… I have three, bring them all to races, and ALWAYS end up lending them out.
