White River sponsorship update
July 21, 2009According to the sponsors and prizes page of the White River 50 website, the Montrail Ultra Cup is no longer a sponsor of this event. However, Parlor-F Tattoo has stepped in as a new sponsor.
In other news, White River 50 participants will no longer be provided with free pairs of Montrail Ultra Cup socks. Instead, they will receive indelible race numbers and complimentary hepatitis vaccinations.
And a free "I love USATF" tattoo for the winner?

There are 'illions athletes i see with tattoos, olympic rings being a very popular one here in Rome 09 swim c'ships. I am asking the doctor in you… cheers
