GET SPONSORED!
Become A Part of Shawn's Anomaly iDO! Fab 5 Team*


Any endurance athlete that has ever done it can tell you that training for and competing in an endurance event like a marathon or Ironman distance triathlon event can be very expensive.  On top of the physical demands and time for training, a lot of money can be spent on equipment, coaching, nutrition, and apparel. Sometimes the cost can nearly seem impossible to afford.  

The heart of the Shawn's Anomaly Mission is proving that anything is possible, so we have partnered with some great sponsors to offer 5 special athletes a chance to gain sponsorship on their journey to fulfilling their dreams of becoming a marathoner or Ironman.

If you are planning on competing in a 1/2 marathon or larger running event or a 1/2 Ironman distance or larger triathlon in 2013, Shawn's Anomaly would like to offer you an athlete sponsorship for your journey.  All you have to do is make Shawn's Anomaly your Reason2Race.  Here are the benefits of sponsorship:
