Colcheaster FNR 5k Race - Essex 5k Road Running Champs - Friday 8th August 2025 - Sponsors Needed
Posted: 01 Nov 2024, 13:37
Appreciate this won't interest all but I'm working with Active Training World events company on the above event, in my capacity on the Essex Athletics Committee but also as an Athletics and Road Running enthusiast.
Next year will be the 4th year of the event where we have managed to really grow the event.
Year 1 in 2022 we had a winning time of 15:08 and this year in 2024 the winner crossed the line in 14:21 and we had 22 people under the 2022 winning time.
ATW deal with the logistics: chip timing, race entry, race results, race license, course measurement etc and my job if to get runners to the event - I am not paid by ATW or anyone and this year I'll possibly be putting some of my own money into the race.
To make the race popular I've managed to collect a whole host of prizes from various brands and companies such as:
- 12 VIP tickets to the O2
- £1100 in SOAR running vouchers
- £670 cash prize pot
- 2 x Polar Vantage M2 Running Watches
- 6 Vaga Running Hats
- 12 Shyu Running Socks
I think that's it. But this is allot more than most events provide.
I want to make this years event bigger so I'm looking for local Essex Companies to support the event with a cash contribution towards the organisation, prize fund and to support national and international athletes travelling to the event with either accommodation and/or travel contribution.
Unless you are at the very top of running, it is not a very well paid sport so I want to give the athletes a worthwhile prize fund.
Currently we have a few companies committed to supporting for an amount of £600 each which should see us through to similar standards of last years race but in order to progress I'm looking for companies who are willing to invest a similar amount.
We don't have a huge amount to offer in exchange but we can offer the following:
- Personal thank you on the instagram page.
- Logo on the race pack that is emailed out to all entrants.
- Share details of any promotion or discount codes you wish to offer.
If anyone knows of anyone who is interested in providing support, please feel free to send me a private message.
It's also worth noting that this year £1 from every entry will be donate to a charity (to be confirmed but more than like The Personal Best Foundation).
We may also be looking for food vendors to come and sell food in pizza trucks etc to the 500+ runners and additional spectators - previously this has been hard because they've always demanded a big lump sum up-front which will be returned only if they meet a minimum income receipt on the night and I'm not keen on putting up £1000+ of my own money.
Thanks
