Logo for Sports Marketing Event Company

A new sports event marketing company for the endurance sports lifestyle (marathons, triathlons, cycling etc...)
is looking for help to create a great first impression with its logo and collateral material.
Future graphics requirements will be required for other materials.
This logo will be out on posters, banners etc... every weekend.
The Company is based in Texas and will focus its efforts within the state.

Endurance Sports Partners

We need a cool logo that encompasses the focus and dedication that runners, tri-athletes and cyclists have with the passion of their sports.

We will have this logo on banners, t-shirts marketing materials - everything that we market with

I have NO idea what I want - that's why I am throwing out to 99designs for help - except:

would like a logo that is not too complicated and busy,
will need to be simple and recognizable for posters, banners and number bibs,
no trendy colors,
could use Endurance Sports Partners or Endurance Sports in logo,
a logo that ESP could be included if slightly modified,
will need to be recognizable at a distance.

nothing too cutesy,
no unicorns or rainbows (per the instructions) or clowns or any running animal,
no winged Mercury shoes,
not a whole bunch of colors,
nothing too complicated
