Are you interested in sponsoring the Tri West triathlon? Sponsors are a pivotal part of event success and being a race sponsor is a wonderful marketing opportunity for your business. As a sponsor, your business will be highlighted in social media advertising, given race day shout-outs, and will be put on the shirt runners receive. That said, some of the best marketing is nothing we can do, but what you do with the opportunity to let your customers know you are a sponsor!
Below is a description of what sponsors will get at each level of sponsorship. Each sponsor who contributes $500 or more can adopt a section of the event with volunteers to make it their own. This will create extra visibility for your business and leave a lasting mark on participants. Would you prefer to know specifically what you are funding? Pick a race expense below and you can sponsor that specifically!
If you would like to know more you can also contact the race director, Mike Combs, at mike@running-tangents.com.

We have 180 age group awards to give away, along with overall winner awards. Are you going to be the company to support these awards?
Transition Area Fencing – $xxxx
This is our first year hosting TriWest. We need fencing/netting to put up around the transition area. This could be boring, orange fencing or this could be professional, quality fencing with the triathlon name and your business name all along the outside of it. From one investment, this would make you a yearly sponsor at no cost for as long as the fencing / netting lasts. Please reach out to discuss product and dimensions if this is something you are interested in.
Timer Sponsor – $1500
The timer is an essential part of every race. Do you want your name associated with providing the timer?
Photography Sponsor – $1500
Participants love receiving pictures of themselves in action and it is a huge priority for all Running Tangents events. We will have 3 photographers on site to make sure every participant gets great pictures before, during, and after the event.
Buoy Sponsor – $xxxx
This is our first year hosting TriWest. We need buoys for the swim courses. These would be used at multiple triathlons each year and could be personalized with your logo if possible. From one investment, this would make you a yearly sponsor at no cost for as long as the buoys last. Please reach out to discuss product if this is something you are interested in.
