BIG SUR MARATHON & HALF MARATHON MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES
Promote your business or message to a targeted group of committed, educated, influential and enthusiastic runners and walkers. We register 12,000 participants in our marathon (spring) and nearly 8,000 in our half marathon (fall).
A variety of marketing opportunities – from product placement to exclusive category sponsorship – are available to businesses and organizations.
ENTRY LEVEL programs (under $1,000) to showcase your product include:
-
Virtual Goodie Bag
Put your product information in front of race participants through our new online "Virtual Goodie Bag" program. In our efforts to "go green" we are now posting sponsors' brochures and promotional material on our website as well as sending a dedicated email with these materials to ALL registered race participants (12,000 for the full marathon; 8,000 for the half marathon). This program targets your distribution and helps you save on printing and shipping costs.
-
Health & Fitness Expo booth
The Big Sur Health & Fitness Expo is a two-day opportunity to maintain maximum exposure to an anticipated audience of 20,000 participants and fitness enthusiasts for our full Marathon, 12,000 for our Half Marathon. The fun and festive atmosphere allows you to conduct product sampling and connect face-to-face with a key targeted audience. Click

Print quantities are 7,000 for the half marathon and 12,000 for the full marathon, but readership exceeds these numbers threefold. Brand advertising or a coupon offer is acceptable. Contact
