I am purely doing it to build brand awareness while supporting a community event. I doubt I will ever know how much traffic it brings, but if a couple people become aware of the site and realize they need to advertise on it, then it will be profitable. If not, it still helps a very good cause :) @ Jason

For instance having a special URL (maybe lowell.com/racename) on the shirt so you know visitors came to your site because of the race sponsorship? You might also want to consider seeing if the race director will let you post the results on your site. Or you could do a post race write-up or photo gallery so that gives participants a reason to visit your site afterwards. I kind of have mixed feelings on marketing at events like this. I'm involved with a company that donates product to a lot of races in return for race marketing including being on t-shirts. Alot of times the amount of interest/sales generated hasn't been a great return but then again it is usually not a large monetary commitment. In your case you're not necessarily looking to sell a product just get more visitors to your site so it might work out better. I'd definitely like to hear your take after the event takes place to see if you find it was worth it. Interesting idea, do you plan to track web traffic you might receive?
