Race for $99

THE BIG $99 ANNOUNCMENT
ENTRY INTO NEXT YEAR'S ROTORUA CHARITY HALF IRONMAN IS JUST $99.

Entry into next year's Rotorua charity half ironman is just $99. This offer is open for just one month and entries open 4PM 18 December, 2009. Also, anyone that enters in the first month, goes into the draw to win one of five brand new awesome blueseventy wetsuits.

That's right, there are FIVE wetsuits up for grabs for those that enter in the first month. You gotta love those odds.

Your entry comes with a 100% money back guarantee. At any stage and for any reason, you can get a full refund of your entry fee. If you pull a heart muscle, we will refund your entry. Simple as that.

ENTER NOW PAY LATER
You can also enter now and pay any time during the year to take advantage of the $99 special entry fee. Just go online, use the promotional code BLUE and your entry will be registered into the system. When you get that lazy hundie, just jump on the Internet banking and pay the money across. Simple as that. You will also be in the draw to win one of five wetsuits (but we expect you to front with the $99 before we hand over the goodies).

YOU CAN ALSO RACE FOR FREE.
Jump online, use the promotional code RED and register for the event. You will then need to raise $200 directly to Hospice using the good guys at www.fundraiseonline.co.nz and have your friends donate to your race. As soon as you have reached $200, we will give you a free entry. Raise $400 and we give you two free entries, raise $600 and we give you three free entries. So this way, you can shout a couple of your mates entry to the races well.

HERE ARE OUR GUARANTEES TO YOU AND TO THE LOCAL ROTORUA COMMUNITY.
100% of your entry fee goes to Hospice. We will be completely transparent with all income posting online to you all a complete profit and loss account. Our books will be open. This isn't a Dancing With The Stars type fundraiser where the charity ends up with 10%. 100% of the entry fees goes to the charity and 12.5% juice to the taxman. That's it.

Our second guarantee is that we will not be cutting corners. Already, all our suppliers are back on again for the 2010 race and beyond, donating as much of their services as they can afford to give. Nothing changes there.

Any shortfall will not be taken from entry fees will be personally picked up by my wife and I (talk about incentive I tell you).

Finally, can help us to spread the word. We need friendlies on the ground from Dannivirke to Invercargill putting up posters in the local Gyms and swimming pools and sticking fliers on the windscreens of your local races. If you know a friendly printer, that would donate services, we would appreciate that to.

Entries will be open from 4PM today. Have a good race tomorrow and thanks again.
