The Boulder Running Clinics Partnership Program

This year, we're launching something I've never offered before - the Boulder Running Clinics Partnership Program. But before I explain what it is, I've got to tell you a story about a November drive to my mom's house and how that relates to us being in the room together in January.

The November Drive

Every year I drive from Denver to my mom's house in Colorado Springs for Thanksgiving and I'm stressed about the clinic.

Even though we've filled up the room in January for several years in a row, in November, I'm lucky to be looking at numbers that have us break even and often the numbers are such that we're going to lose money. It's stressful. There's over $40,000 worth of contracts already committed - hotels, speakers, the video production contract, multiple insurance contracts - all based on hope that coaches will register over the next six weeks.

But here's the thing: I come home from Boulder in January so excited about the track season and so grateful to be part of high school running. Amy will tell you I can't stop talking about the conversations we've had, the connections I watched coaches make, the "lightbulb" moments during presentations. The impact on coaches like you makes every bit of November stress worth it.

I think we can solve the first problem with your help, which makes the second part even better.

That's why I created the Partnership Program.

What is a Partner?

A Boulder Running Clinics Partner is a coach who commits to four years of their professional development while providing the operational foundation that keeps the clinic excellent for everyone. Partners aren't just buying tickets - they're investing in the long-term stability of coaching education.

What Do Partners Get?

Financial Benefits:

• Four years of tickets at $281 per year - a guaranteed savings of $55
• You'll likely save another $30-$100 if the ticket price increases
• Payment flexibility: full payment or $95/month for 12 months
• Three years of video archives from our library (your choice)

Partnership Benefits:

• Guaranteed spots for 2026-2029 (no registration stress)
• Ticket transfer options if life changes
• The satisfaction of knowing you're helping ensure the clinic thrives for decades

Why Become a Partner?

For the cost-conscious coach: You're protecting yourself against price increases while securing your professional development at just $281 per clinic.

For the established coach: You're stepping up to support something you believe in. You know the value of consistent, quality education, and you want to ensure it's here for the next generation of coaches.

At $295, Boulder Running Clinics represents exceptional value, but price increases are inevitable. Hotel costs continue rising dramatically with mandatory minimums, video production has become more expensive as we've improved quality and delivery speed, and everything else keeps getting more costly when working with hotel-required vendors.

I'm hoping to keep the current $295 price through 2027, but I'm almost certain I'll need to raise it to $325 in 2028 and possibly higher in 2029. Even a modest increase means regular ticket buyers will pay $1,235+ over four years versus your locked-in $1,125.

But here's what I really want you to understand: you're not just saving money. You're helping create something bigger.

How This Transforms the Clinic (And Benefits Every Coach)

When I have advance commitments from dedicated coaches, it transforms how I can operate and plan for the future. I can sign longer hotel contracts (keeping costs down and guaranteeing MLK Weekend dates), commit to high-caliber speakers with confidence, and focus on creating exceptional content instead of worrying about registration numbers.

Partners understand that great coaching education requires stability. By committing to four years, you're helping create the operational confidence that allows us to book great speakers, lock in the MLK weekend with the hotel, and focus on content instead of worrying about registration numbers.

The coaches who choose the Partnership Program aren't just investing in their own development - they're helping ensure Boulder Running Clinics remains a cornerstone of coaching education for years to come.

What You Need to Know

Transfer policy: Life happens. If your situation changes, you can transfer your tickets to another coach. The one caveat is that you don't resell the ticket if/when the ticket price increases. 

COVID-style cancellations: If circumstances prevent in-person clinics, I'll provide equivalent virtual programming or reschedule. But I won't extend your package with bonus years - that's not financially sustainable.

Limited availability: I'm only offering these to a select number of coaches. Taking too many people out of future regular sales would hurt the financial model I'm trying to stabilize.

The Bottom Line

This four-year package represents genuine value for you and meaningful support for the clinic. You save money, secure your professional development for the next four years, and help create the operational stability that benefits everyone who attends.

If you're one of the coaches who values what we've built together over the past seven years, and you want to be part of ensuring it continues to thrive, this is a concrete way to do that while protecting your own investment in your coaching development.
