A volunteer-run race needs partners
A volunteer running club organizes the River Run. Entry fees cover timing and permits, but not water stations, medals, or the start area.
Sponsors keep the entry fee low, so students and first-time runners can take part.
03
Three ways to sponsor the race
Lead sponsor: your name on the start and finish arch, the race bibs, and the finisher T-shirt.
Water station sponsor: one of six stations on the course, staffed by your team in your colors.
Medal sponsor: your logo on the back of every finisher medal.

Questions from sponsors
Can two sponsors share a water station?
Yes, if both agree. We print both names on the station banner.
Do you guarantee the number of runners?
No. The figure is an estimate based on past entries. The sponsor report gives the final count.
