As our excitement builds for another year of fun and racing, so does our commitment to giving back and promoting. We’ll continue to volunteer our time at local races and present “Introduction to Adventure Racing” talks at local sports retailers and organizations. We love this sport and want others to share that love!

In order to sustain and grow this excitement and commitment we continue to seek sponsorship opportunities. Our commitment to racing and volunteering will provide our sponsors with the valuable opportunity to ride our backs and extend their brand’s reach to a select market. For those unfamiliar with adventure racing’s demographic, it’s pretty simple: individuals with disposable income and time. That’s a sponsor’s dream!

By sponsoring the DIRTY AVOCADOS you will have local, regional, national, and international reach. At least one team member or team typically participates in some sort of race each week during the high season (summer). Most importantly, you’ll be sponsoring a group of athletes that are “real”. We’re not elite or professional athletes; but instead, we’re the guy you sit next to a work or the gal you talk to at the gym. We’re real people with real lives. Thus, we can clearly and sincerely relate to your customers!

In exchange for your support, your brand can be featured on DIRTYAVOCADOS.com. We can evangelize your brand through information sharing (take-ones and talks) at races and events and product plugs during formal seminars and casual conversations. In addition, we can provide you with a direct channel to your sales outlet via an online partnership and even provide sponsor-supplied product/service pro-forms. Lastly, if you have a cool new (or old) product that you want field-tested and reviewed by “real” athletes, let us know. We’re also a bunch of gear-geeks!

It’s no mystery adventure racing is an expensive sport. Every bit of help we can muster will be greatly appreciated and certainly rewarded!

	The Big Sur Bar business began in our small coffee house on the California Central Coast.  We baked the bars and served them in-house, until we began to package the bars and wholesale them to other local businesses.  As time went by, the Big Sur Bars became more of a focus than the coffee house, which we sold in 2005 to produce and sell the Big Sur Bars on a full-time basis.  We remain a small business, committed to providing our customers with a wholesome, quality, fresh product.  If you think we are just another big company with another bar, think again.  We are a small company with a freshly baked bar that is very BIG!

	We love trail running. There is nothing quite like moving fast through the mountains. When we thought about how to support the trail running community we came up with the obvious idea to support individual runners themselves. Give them gear, have them put it to the test, win races, go to really cool places and then give us feedback. Since 2002 La Sportiva has promoted and supported runners across the country. The La Sportiva Mountain Running® Team consists of some of the strongest trail runners around. To find out more about the team check out our running team website at www.mountainrunningteam.com

	kaia foods was founded with the belief that food should be treated with love and respect, not overprocessed. We create only foods that have been barely changed from their raw, natural state so as to preserve their healing properties and inherent goodness. We soak, mix, grind, and dehydrate our food (below 115° F so the enzymes don’t break down) - that’s it! No baking, frying, bleaching, weird preservatives, or other forms of adulteration. Read more...
