By Ruthie Livingston

All you have to do is use your creative imagination to gain more money than you first expect to have.

With all those many things, one thing that you may do is to sell apparels. Since the event is a marathon, it will be good if you sell marathon races apparel clothes that is uniformly made and exclusive only for this event and your participants. They will definitely like this as they would entirely feel that they are in the marathon just by wearing the shirt.

Before the day comes, tell all your participants that you are willing to accept orders in customizing their apparel.

You could also sell a band to hold the music players or cellular phones of the runners. Some runners would really prefer listening to music to keep them going. Thus, selling bands to them will really be helpful.

If youll have the marathon solely for the professional runners, start selling customized shirts with the names or pictures of the professional runners. Then sell these shirts to the public so their fans could wear those and for them to to fully support their running idol.

If you plan to hold the race at night, then you could provide lighters the participants could put into their shirts or rather sell shirts with lighters.

If youre able to peek on the view from high places, you will see very colorful lights running on a route.
