Launched this week, on 5 July 2011, an innovative new solution from 365Competitors through its ‘ground-breaking Registration Fee Reimbursement’, is designed to help race events protect the registration investment of their participants.
Dedicated to educating race directors, promoters and their athletes about the benefits of the company’s Registration Fee Reimbursement services, 365Competitors claims to be the only company currently offering this solution.
Registration Fee Reimbursement provided by 365Competitors offers peace of mind on event fee registration by insuring athletes against unforeseen circumstances. If medical issues, such as illness or injury, prevent an athlete from participating in an event, 100% of the registration fee including taxes and service fees, is returned to the athlete, up to a maximum of US$1,000 per event.
The insurance cover is put in place by the event, in partnership with 365Competitors; therefore the athlete becomes eligible automatically when paying to register for the event.
365Competitors’ products and services are available for sporting events across the United States, including running events from 5K to marathons as well as cycling, duathlons, triathlons and beyond.
Company Founder, Ken Baldo noted, “As an avid marathon runner with family and business responsibilities, I understand how much time and effort goes into planning a racing schedule and the dedication that goes into training for a full calendar of events.
“When injury or illness puts a stop to a runner’s racing goals, his or her registration fee is lost, adding to the disappointment already felt at not being able to participate. Having experienced this first hand, I created 365Competitors.”
Interested race directors in the US can go to www.365competitors.com to request an instant revenue generating proposal, designed to show race events how much they stand to benefit by offering Registration Fee Reimbursement to their participants.
The new website also provides information about the service, an FAQ, company background, sponsorship options and current charity/community outreach projects.
