Follow our journey to make the 2016 US Olympic Team

Why do you want to partner with Steph and Ben Bruce?

• We race all over the USA and World. In 2013 we raced in a combined 30-40 races lining up in front of hundreds of thousands of runners.

• We have won Rock’n’Roll events in Arizona, San Diego, and New Orleans.• San Diego (Ben) and Phoenix (Steph) is where we grew up and both are very big

markets for Competitor and Rock’n’Roll. We have won events, (Steph) Rock’n’Roll Arizona Half 2013, and(Ben) Rock’n’Roll San Diego Marathon 2014, in both areas.

• We have goals to make 2016 Olympic Team for Rio with legitimate chances. Ben was the alternate for 2012 Olympic Games in London (steeplechase), and Steph’s 2:29 marathon puts her with only a handful of USA Women who’ve run sub 2:30.

• We recently became parents to Riley James and now balance training with raising a baby. Steph will be chronicling her return to training and racing post baby via blogs, social media interactions and connecting with all the running moms.

• We’ve gained knowledge in coaching, training, and psychology of the sport through years of our running experience and our college degrees.

OUR STORYWe are the Bruces and we invite you to run with us. We are a running family trying to reach our dream of becoming Olympians. Becoming an Olympian is not our end goal. We want to leave the running world better then when we found it. We believe there is far more to being a professional runner then just running fast times. Yes, running fast, winning races, and competing at the highest level is what makes us professional but there are many more qualities that set us aside. It can be a challenge to balance our lives, training, owning a company, expanding a second company, and add in a brand new baby boy Riley our lives are full. This is why we believe we can relate to so many of the masses participating in running events across the world. No matter how busy you are running can become a life habit to help you live healthy and happy.

What we do• Train hard to reach our goals. It’s a 24 hour job. • Steph is co-founder of the energy bar company Picky Bars which

has created a Picky community upon which their followers rely on.• Coach people online through our business “Running with the

Bruces”• Public Speaking: At RNR events, fundraisers, running camps and

clinics, high schools.• Recently became parents which we’re finding puts the above as a

number 2 priority!• Inspire our fans to chase their own dreams.• Relate to the everyday runner through our blog, speaking

engagements, and coaching.

Dream Big!

MISSION• We have made this proposal for Competitor Group to express our interest in

working with your company as a professional running couple with our sights set on making the 2016 Olympic Team.

• We believe we understand our sport from every level that exists. From the elite racing world to the masses we know how to connect. There’s so much knowledge that we have from our own careers and wish to share it with the masses. In order for fans to care about you, you first need to care about them. No matter what level you’re at we all share a common bond of wanting to get the most out of ourselves from running. Running has a different purpose for so many people and it’s our intention to help others find theirs.

• Competitor Group along with Rock’n’Roll events provides a stage for the running world to chase your goals, change your life and enjoy the process. We feel partnering with you will be mutually beneficial as it brings exposure to both parties and highlights each of our goals in the sport.

Proposal• Yearly contract beginning Fall 2014 through 2016 Olympics• Follow along Steph’s return to racing post baby via video series
