This year, Select Staffing is boosting its participation with two impactful activities. First, Select is sponsoring a food drive for the local Foodbank of Santa Barbara, offering a free runner's pace tattoo (a temporary tattoo that helps runners stick to their pace) to registrants who bring canned goods to Select's booth at the November 11 expo at Earl Warren Showgrounds, where runners pick up their registration packets and browse exhibits on health and fitness, travel, and more.

Second, Select issued an invitation to all its clients and colleagues to run in the event as the company's VIP guests. Thus far, approximately 60 clients and colleagues are scheduled to participate. Select will pay their registration fees, as well as treat each participant to:

• VIP luncheon the day prior to the race
• VIP transportation to the starting line
• Customized training emails from Race Director Rusty Snow
• VIP tent at the finish line with recovery food and drink and a post-race massage
• Select Staffing "running goodies" bag

"Select is enthusiastic and proud to help bring this important event to Santa Barbara, which is such a beautiful locale for a marathon," says Select CEO and Chairman Steve Sorensen. "It's an honor to see Select's hometown be part of the limelight as the backdrop for a race that is a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon. It's a pleasure that Select is in a fortuitous position to help end hunger in our community while helping raise the national visibility of the race through our network of over 400 offices coast-to-coast."

Located in Southern California's "American Riviera," the Select Staffing Santa Barbara International Marathon/Half-Marathon is a USATF-sanctioned event and a Boston Qualifier.
