Sponsorship Opportunities
The Market Harborough Half Marathon
will provide a quality, affordable, friendly, and inclusive running event that will bring together participants of varying running abilities from across the region and from further afield.
The event will encourage health, fitness, and community engagement, as well as showcasing the beautiful countryside surrounding the town.
We anticipate a field of between 1,200-1,500 runners to line up for the inaugural event, growing year on year.
Getting Involved
In the brochure that you can download below, you will find a number of ways for your business to get involved with this exciting and dynamic event.
As well as gaining direct access to the participants, you will also gain invaluable exposure to the supporters and spectators who will be at the event, as well as the wider local community via press and media coverage.
As part of your sponsorship package there is also the opportunity to have a presence in the ‘Event Village’ on race day to promote your business or actively trade.
We are delighted to have the backing of Harborough District Council who will be utilising their marketing and comms teams to promote and support the event.
In addition, the event will partner with local charities, encouraging participants to fundraise and raise awareness for local causes, and participants will also have the option to donate to these charities at entry.
Summary
As you can see, there are a number of ways to get involved with the event and work with a team who are truly passionate about delivering friendly, inclusive and enjoyable events. A team who are equally passionate about working with like minded partners to deliver the aims and objectives of their sponsorship/support.
It is very much our vision to create a landmark event for the town, celebrating both fitness and community spirit. By bringing together runners, volunteers, supporters, local businesses and charities, we hope to create a lasting, positive impact on the local economy, health, and culture.
We hope that you’d like to get involved, and very much look forward to working with you.
