What I can do to help you
What if the right race partnerships for Eastrail were already happening right in your region but just needed to be identified and organized in one place?
Eastrail already has a natural advantage because many running and cycling events operate on or near the corridor, making them strong candidates for partnership and community alignment.
I specialize in online research and organizing information into clear, actionable formats that support outreach and decision-making. For this project, I would focus on identifying race production companies, running events, and cycling races that align with Eastrail’s mission, especially those connected to the corridor or the wider Puget Sound region.
I’ve prepared a sample research report structured around Eastrail partnership opportunities to show how I would approach this work in practice. It includes a spreadsheet of events, contact details, corridor relevance, and partnership fit analysis:
The final deliverable would be a well-organized spreadsheet with prioritized opportunities, key contacts, source links, and notes on partnership potential so your team can quickly begin outreach.
Would it be helpful if I prioritized corridor-based events first before expanding to regional opportunities?
