How To Promote Your Brand At A Fun Run

Sponsoring a charity fun run is not only extremely beneficial for the charity you are helping, but it is also a good way for your brand to get exposed to new potential customers.

Fun runs take place all year round, but during Summer you're pretty much guaranteed to find a run local to you every weekend.

So, how to promote a fun run? It is totally normal and expected that the main sponsor of a fun run promotes their brand throughout the day of a fun run. Banner flags can often be found not only at the start line, but also dotted around the course of the run. This is a great way to show your support for the charity in question and also continue to show your brand off throughout the day.

Running and water go hand in hand, the key to good exercise is staying hydrated. When taking part in a Summer fun run, you hope the weather is the sunny and day, this makes staying hydrated even more important. Whilst running, participants may carry a bottle around, but more likely to keep the water fresh they will enjoy the water being passed to them during the race, here is another great opportunity to show your brand name off. Our 200ml disposable plastic vending cups are the perfect size for runners to have a quick sip of water whilst on the move.

When the race is over, participants will more likely than not need a bit more than a sip of water. Offering promotional bottles of water can be great for not only for participants but also for eager spectators waiting for their friends and family to finish the run.

Finishing a fun run would not be complete without receiving a medal at the end of it. Our Stamped Iron Medals make the perfect keepsake to remind successful runners of their day helping their favourite charity. The name of the event and logo can be stamped onto the medal, but you can print your brand logo on the ribbon at an extra cost giving you an extra area to print your brand name and logo onto.

Charity fun runs happen all year round and all over the country, if your brand is the position to give something back, sponsoring a fun run is not only a great way to do so but it also a great way to promote your brand at the same time to new potential customers. With our range of products, your brand should be in the runners' minds well after their muscles have stopped aching!
