Coast Tire a 'Founding Father Sponsor'

In the establishment of the KVC Marathon over the first 6 years we were blessed with good sponsors especially Coast Tire and Auto Service. Ron Outerbridge, John Correia and Rebecca Parker from Coast Tire provided a backbone of support that gave many runners the incentive to set a marathon goal. I always thought it was pretty neat that Coast Tire, a service company to the motoring public, opened up their operation to support a sport that plies its recreation on the same streets and roads. Also, as a marathon supporter, they recognized the KVC in their 26 stores around the maritime provinces which certainly helped to establish it in running circles around the area.
On race day Ron always ensured there were vehicles and staff on the course to support the runners and volunteers. As well, he was usually present himself to cheer the runners. His suggestion of a marathon relay in 2007 helped to bolster numbers and give runners a taste of marathoning in the process.
So after 6 years, Coast Tire passes on this legacy to other sponsors and the only other thing the KVC Marathon could ask is for Ron to anchor a Coast Tire team in the 2010 Marathon Relay.
