There are various ways that interested companies or individuals can support Yak Attack 2010. Firstly below are the profiles of a few of the local riders wishing to take part in the event. All those selected are experienced athletes and great ambassadors for mountain biking in Nepal, but many find it hard to raise the funds to take part in multiday events such as this one. A minimum donation of £200 per athlete will ensure that they are able to take part in the race. A donation of £400 per athlete will cover their total expenses for the race, including entry fee, transport, food, accomodation and porter fees. By sponsoring an athlete either partly or exclusively, you will be giving them the chance to take part in an event that they would not normally be able to afford, and in return we will associate your company name and logo with your sponsored rider, displaying it on their race no. and in race reports etc. Secondly for 2010 we will be awarding prize money for each stage (there are 6 stages in all) and we will be offering the opportunity for companies to sponsor a stage of the race. For a donation of £200, the sponsored stage will be named after the associated company, with their name and logo to appear on the start and finish banner and in all reports about that stage. The following stages are available for sponsorship. Stage 1 - March 10 Besi Sahar to Taal 41km, 760m to 1700m 1635m ascent Stage 2 - March 11 Taal to Chame 21km, 1700m to 2570m 1365m ascent Stage 3 March 12 Chame to Manang 30km, 2570m to 3540m 1044m ascent Stage 4 March 14 Manang to Thorong Phedi 22km, 3540m to 4450m 980m ascent Stage 5 March 15 Thorong Phedi to Muktinath - 18km - 4450m-5416m-3750m - 960m ascent Stage 6 March 16 Muktinath to Tatopani , 67km, 3750mm to11190m (Finish) Details of all the stages can be seen on the itinerary page Thirdly if any companies would like to donate any equipment or clothing etc for use by the participants during the race then we will add their logo to our supporting sponsors list on the web site and review the product on our race portal site. As outlined in detail in the Our Aim page, Yak attack is run as a non profit making event, with any profits made, being used to aid buddingNepal athletes, promote eco friendly sports tourism in the Annapurna region and to support the local communities through which the race passes.
