Dan, there was some past discussion which ended up in creation of this draft page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Conference_Policy
That might help at least highlight some of the issues that have been brought up in the past and I think this is the most formalised document addressing it. I'd have to dig up more info to give you a complete picture, but basically the board agreed that a policy was needed before being able to approve re-use of our brand(s) for 3rd party run events. Though you're not exactly talking about 3rd party here.. hmm..
I'll give others on the list a chance to share before spamming you with too many links, but this thread might give enough background:

Hope that helps somewhat. For what it's worth, I do believe this next 12 month period is going to see several requests like this and we're going to need to nail this down sooner than later.
Tyler
