How have you been an ambassador to the sport of running?
Have tried to promote running in the area, both in personal life and at work. Display local racing running calendar at work. Try to be an example of giving back to the running community by volunteering to help at races where ever and whenever I can. Promote buying at local running stores - refer as many people as I can to Fleet Feet.
