Seen for a year,
not a morning.

Put your business in front of every runner (350 of them in 2026, sold out), the families who come with them, and a town that is proud of its race. Packages from a kilometre marker to naming the whole event.

Why sponsor it

A whole town,
one field.

You are seen for a year, not a morning.

More than two-thirds of our runners buy the race T-shirt, and they wear it: at parkrun, at other races, on holiday. Our “where in the world have you worn yours” campaign will show you exactly how far it travels. The medal is photographed by every finisher. This website and the race pack are read by every entrant.

You reach a local audience that is hard to reach any other way. Hundreds of runners, the club's Facebook and Instagram following, and a day with well over a thousand local people on one field.

You are part of something the town is proud of. Goole Viking Striders is a volunteer-run club. Your support is what pays for the medals, the shirts, the children's run and the village, and every sponsor is thanked publicly, on the day and online.

The packages

Pick your
place.

Packages are agreed on a first-come basis. Each has a closing date set by when things go to print. We invoice on agreement, payable within 30 days, and send a one-page agreement setting out exactly what you get. Artwork is needed as a vector file (PDF, SVG or EPS) by the closing date. Prices are in the prospectus and on enquiry.
