Race Sponsorship Eligibility – Team Bee Abled
To qualify for race sponsorship through Bee Abled, athletes must attend at least ONE (1) team workout per month. This helps us build community, stay connected, and ensure everyone is race ready.
If you don’t meet the sponsorship criteria but still wish to race with Team Bee Abled, you’re welcome to join by covering your own registration fee. Attending workouts may open the door to reimbursement, but please speak with me first. We’ll still assist with race packet pickup, except for Chevron races, where group pickup is not permitted.
Please note: If Bee Abled covers your race registration and you’re unable to attend, we kindly ask that you reimburse the organization to help us continue supporting future athletes and events.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us.
