Partners & Discounts
Our partners support us in numerous ways, including donations, facilities for holding club meetings, special events, and discounts for club members. You must be a paid member of the BTC in order to receive these discounts.
Discount codes are distributed to the club via email newsletters. We may also provide our partners online access to the BTC membership roster as needed to verify membership for discounted services.
Partnerships for the year are generally determined during the off-season / Winter and posted approximately Feb/March each year. The list may be updated throughout the season as more partnerships are finalized.
Please feel free to contact our board members if you have any questions, wish to become a partner, or to suggest future partners we should look into.

This list was overhauled on February 27, 2024. Please note this list is NOT considered to be complete. We are continuing to work on a few additional partners/sponsors. Please check back periodically, and keep an eye out for email announcements with partnership updates!

Note: The BTC board strives to obtain as many discounts and special offers as possible for our members. We do not provide exclusivity to any of our partners - for example, we may in any year have agreements with multiple companies that sell bicycles or swimsuits. Our goal is to provide as many options as we can for our members so that they can choose which offers they would like to take advantage of. Inclusion of a sponsor or partner is not intended to be an endorsement by the BTC, nor is the omission of a sponsor or partner intended to be a denouncement.
We tend to approve most partnership opportunities that provide some type of multi-sport related discount or benefit for our members, provided that the cost to the club is deemed reasonable. Most of our partners simply require us to provide them some exposure to our members via our email blasts, newsletters, Facebook group, and our web site.
We review and renew the existing agreements annually (during November - February), and we keep copies of them on file. We generally only consider applications for new partnerships during this same time period. Due to the amount of time required to administer the partnership agreements, we try to keep the total number of them below 30, and usually don't consider the addition of a new partnership outside of the aforementioned time frame.
