T2 Sponsorship Guidelines
Consider sponsoring the Topeka Triathletes and set the example for your employees, customers and our community!
As part of an active and healthy lifestyle, T2's Mission is to promote the physical and psychological benefits of engaging in multi-sports, including swimming, cycling and running.
Let’s partner to promote wellness and team building and position your corporation or organization with an attractive demographic:
- Triathletes average income is $70,000 per year.
- 86% of triathletes have attended or graduated at least from a four-year college; and 46% hold a Master’s degree or higher.
- A USAT survey in 2000 of multisport athletes found that triathletes spend an average of $3,500 on sporting goods/athletic purchases per year including:
- 35% value their bike at $2,000-4,000
- 28% spend $50-100 on swim equipment per year
- 22% spend $1,000-3,000 on bike equipment per year
- 54% spend $100-300 on running gear per year
