Advertising with Runner Triathlete News is the most effective way to reach thousands of runners, cyclists, swimmers, and multi-sport athletes throughout the Southwest. RTN is the premier running and multi-sport magazine and web site in the Southwest and your ad in the print and/or web versions of RTN will reach more entrants than any other magazine or web site in the Southwest.

RTN offers rates to fit every event's budget -- and if your event benefits a non-profit group, please make sure to alert us so you may receive our special "non-profit" rates. For more information on advertising with RTN, e-mail [email protected] or call (800) 441-9837.

However, unlike many magazines and web sites, the RTN staff doesn't quit working for your event when your ad is done. We offer a number of complimentary "perks" for events that advertise with our print magazine and/or web site. These special items and promotions add extra value to your ad and continue to promote your event right up to race morning and beyond.

For as little as $110, your event can take advantage of this complete promotional package.
