Bring a Buddy!
I’ve decided to do a small promotion - Bring a Buddy to Big Bear!
I love seeing people turn up with a friend, some clubmates or their partner and enjoy a good run around the woods. Many arrive alone and leave with a new buddy made on the trail! Our events are great for it. You don't all have to run the same distance, or speed. You can however all start together, see each other 4 or 5 times on the route as you crisscross a forest and sit and have a bit of flapjack at the end. This simply isn’t possible at the majority of traditional events!
Most of our venues have lovely cafes on site so if one of you do split up and finish early you can pop to the car, put some warm clothes on, and have a coffee while waiting to clap the last of your friends in. Idyllic! Almost sounds too good to be true.
What I want is for you to introduce a new friend, running partner, actual partner, clubmate or workmate to Big Bear Events. If you can get a friend to sign up to one of our events in 2021 I’ll give you and them 10% off that entry. You just need to email me before you both enter for me to give you the discount code to be used BEFORE entering. If you’re already entered but you can get someone to join you for your event you can use your discount code for a future event, just let me know. For the avoidance of doubt – the new runner needs to have not run with Big Bear Events before.
I love that Big Bear is to some a little secret event that they know about but others don’t. Like discovering a new band or a brilliant café that does the best cake. It makes me feel privileged and very special! However, it’s not great for long-term business!!! Big Bear will never be a bland corporate entity with generic events and 300 people on the start line. Our midweek events will continue to be the size they were pre-covid with all the little touches to make them special. I’ve got other (exciting!!) ideas, but it’s never about loads on the start line and busier events. It’s more around different formats, different venues and keeping the amazing atmosphere and experience we have.
So I’m asking you to speak to your friends, share the Facebook posts, tag us in your Instagram pics and tell your husbands and wives. If you can do that then please accept my thank you in the form of a discount code!
Nb. The 10% discount doesn’t apply on top of the 10% Big Bear Brigade discount (but you can get a code for your buddy you get to sign up!
