Partnerships

TWO WAYS TO TEAM UP

Most of the time, Run Spartanburg is the sponsor. The races on our City Events page belong to the people who put them on, and we back the ones we believe in. If your organization wants to back the club instead, there is a place for that too.

We Sponsor City Events

Putting On A Race In Spartanburg? Let Us Back It.

Run Spartanburg sponsors city events as a promotional partner. No fee to you: we bring prizes to your race and bring the club to your start line. Nonprofit runs, fun runs, and cause races go to the front of the line.

PRIZES

Podium, age-group, or raffle prizes from the club and our partners.

RACE-WEEK PROMOTION

Your race in front of 350+ club runners on Strava and Instagram, plus a spot on City Events.

A CREW AT THE LINE

We show up, run it, and make noise for you.

Partner With The Club

Want To Back Run Spartanburg?

A 350-plus member club, a City Events page the whole town checks, and a Strava feed that fills up every morning. When a local business backs the club, it shows up where Spartanburg’s runners already are.

PRIZE PARTNER

Supply the prizes we put into city races. Your product in the winners’ hands and your name on every race-week post.

SEASON PARTNER

Back one of our four training seasons. Your logo on that season’s 1-mile time trials and group runs, and a feature in the club’s Strava and Instagram posts all season long.

CLUB PARTNER

Year-round backing for the whole club. Everything above, plus your logo here on the site and first call as new programs launch.

No fixed packages, no minimum. Tell us who you are and we will put together something that fits. Community groups, nonprofits, and race directors: listing your event or group with us is always free.
