Flyathlon AmBASSadors Program
At Running Rivers, we are incredibly proud of the amazing community of conservation-minded recreationists and outdoor businesses that we have brought together in the woods through our Flyathlon program, all for the benefit of native fish. So in 2024, we would like to celebrate both through the creation of our pilot Flyathlon AmBASSadors program (see what we did there?) to amplify the awesomeness of our mission of Conservation Through Recreation through social media platforms.

- Are you a past, present, or future Flyathlete who has epic running / fishing plans for 2024?
- Are you orders-of-magnitude more savvy with social media than our nearly 50-year old founder / primary content generator?
- Do you want to help the Flyathlon / Running Rivers grow our impact by reaching a new and diverse audience?
- Do you want to come to Flyathlon races for free and get some unique Flyathlon AmBASSador schwag to rep on your outdoor adventures in 2024?
What will be expected of me as a Flyathlon AmBASSador?
Our primary hope / expectation for our AmBASSadors will be to regularly represent the fun spirit of the Flyathlon and Running Rivers’ mission of Conservation Through Recreation through your established presence on online channels. This could be captured during a variety of activities, including official Flyathlon events, informal Flyathlon challenges (i.e. the Troutman series, Fastest Known Fish, or Fish Slapping), or running / fishing adventures of your own design. During all of these fishy endeavors, we’d hope that you’d feel inclined to:

During all of these fishy endeavors, we’d hope that you’d feel inclined to:
- Tastefully represent our brands (Running Rivers / Flyathlon) and / or the brands of our incredible conservation-minded sponsors.
- Model the core principles of responsible running / fishing recreation (e.g. Keep Fish Wet, Leave No Trace, Care for Colorado), lest we have to defrock you for transgressions…
- Recruit friends and family to join you at an established Flyathlon and in embracing Conservation through Recreation.
- Spread the Flyathlon gospel to potential new sponsors who appear to share our principles of responsible recreation (bonus points if those potential sponsors become actual sponsors!).
