NB draw..tickets on sale today

Win 1 of 2 New Balance running kits, valued at up to 450$ each!

Hi everyone,
Derrick and I have been competing in Cyclo Cross races all over North America this year and we are taking the next step by travelling to Belgium for a couple of weeks to race the best in the world and do some UCI races including the World Cup in Hofstade, Belgium. Cyclo-Cross is not an Olympic sport, therefore there is extremely limited funding. Since we are Elite amatuers, sponsors are able to assist with the costs of some of the equipment; unfortunately all the travel costs are out of our pockets.

In order to facilitate our trip, my boss, Jim MacFarlane the owner of New Balance Ottawa/Sports 4 has generously donated 2 full winter running kits that we are raffling off in order to help cover some of the financial burden. Jim has always supported local athletes and has been very understanding and accommodating to the demands of my training and racing over the last four years.
We will only be selling 200 tickets for a chance to win one of two New Balance 450$ running kits. Kit includes 150$ shoes and 300$ in clothing (retail value). Vince Caceres (also a very understanding man) of the Cyclery has also donated a voucher for a complete bike tune-up valued at 60$.

Tickets are 15$ each and available at the New Balance Ottawa store 1371 B Woodroffe Ave (in College Square). The draw will be held on December 10th at the New Balance Ottawa Store. I will be there weekdays until the draw date, working and selling tickets. We have recently received our Fall/Winter selection of clothing, so come by the store check out the new line, buy a ticket and say hi.

Thank you in helping us pursue our dreams and making them come true.
If you can't come by the store send Derrick an email and he'll get a ticket to you.
Even if you don't run the kits are really good for lounging or they can make a great Christmas gift for the runner in your life.
Natasha and Derrick
