We have four Primary Levels of sponsorship and several types of Special Sponsorships for the race.

We are looking to renew sponsorships and explore new possible partnerships.

Scroll to bottom of this page for PDF downloads of the Sponsorship materials including the Brochure, Sponsorship Sheet, and Special Sponsorship Sheet. The information is also outlined in this page.

The Primary Sponsorship Levels are:

1. Premier Sponsor ($1,000 one per year, given right of first refusal), Logo gets top billing on the back of the shirt and sponsor recognition banner. Also logo on race bib.
2. Gold Sponsor ($500), Logo gets just under the Premier sponsor on the back of the shirt and sponsor recognition banner. Up to 3 race entries.
3. Silver Sponsor ($250), Logo gets just under the Gold sponsors on the back of the shirt and sponsor recognition banner. Up to 2 race entries.
4. Bronze Sponsor ($150). Name on back of shirt and sponsor recognition banner. Logo used on shirt if there is room without making everything too small.

Each level offers different benefits for the sponsor. Download the sponsorship packet here. 

We also offer Special Sponsorships of key race day necessities. Once a sponsor has filled one of these sponsorships in a prior year, they are given right of first refusal to sponsor the same special sponsorship for the next year.

Special Sponsorship Opportunities include:

• Premier Sponsor – (finalizing the 2023 Premier Sponsor, check back soon!) Top Level sponsor, name and/or logo goes on every runner’s bib so it is visible during the race, in photos, and after the race if the runner/walker/dasher saves their race bib as many people do. Also top billing on the back of the t-shirt with the t-shirt sponsor.
• Race T-Shirt Sponsor – sponsor name appears at the top of the list of sponsors on every runners shirt next to the Premier Sponsor.
