Sunday, 18 July 2027 · Goole
Local pride, real visibility, shared ambition. Put your name in front of every runner — 350 of them in 2026, and the race sold out — the families who come with them, and a town that is proud of its race. Packages from £100.
Why sponsor it
A personal challenge. A shared celebration. A chance for your business to be part of something that matters locally.
Organised by volunteer-run Goole Viking Striders, the 10K follows the River Ouse around Goole and Hook. The race surplus goes back into helping local people get moving, from couch-to-10k upwards.
The 2027 plans bring the race, a children's fun run and an event village together at Goole Town CC. Hundreds of runners, the families and friends who come with them, and a day with well over a thousand local people on one field. Choose a package that connects your business with the people taking part.
Included with every sponsorship
Every sponsorship starts with recognition before, during and after race day. The package you choose adds a distinctive place for your brand.
Your name and logo on the race website. A named mention in the race-pack email sent to every entrant.
Your logo on the sponsor boards in the event village, alongside the businesses helping make the day happen.
Named thank-you posts. A post-race report with photos and numbers. First refusal on the same package for 2028.
The packages
Ten ways to back the race, from a logo in the shirt grid to naming the children's run. Every one of them puts your business in front of the runners, the families who come with them and a town that is proud of its race.
Service Timber is confirmed as the 2027 Lead T-shirt Sponsor, taking the largest sponsor-logo position on the race shirt and lead billing on the event-village sponsor boards.
Logo on the ribbon and, where the design allows, the medal reverse. A “Medals by…” credit in the medal reveal and the results email, and you present the medals. Small back-of-shirt logo and second position on the sponsor boards.
Your logo on every runner's race number, from the start line to the finish photo, with an additional small logo on the back of the race T-shirt.
The kids' fun run carries your business name. Your logo appears on the children's medals and certificates, and you have the opportunity to start the run.
Your logo on the volunteer and marshal shirts: a visible place with the team welcoming runners and delivering race day. The shirts may also be worn at future club events, well beyond the race itself.
A large logo high on the back of the race T-shirt, directly below the lead sponsor.
Ten sponsor logos go on the race T-shirt and there are no late additions. The grid holds six Small T-shirt Sponsors plus the Medal and Race Bib Sponsors. Layouts shown are illustrative; the final shirt design and positions are to be agreed.
Your name on the collectable every finisher takes home, designed to build into a set year on year. Includes a free event-village stall.
One logo in the small-sponsor grid on the back of the race T-shirt.
Your logo on the website, the event-village sponsor boards and race communications, plus the core benefits. No race-shirt placement.
A 3m × 3m trading pitch in the event village for race day. Bring your own gazebo, tables and power, and a public liability certificate. Food and drink pitches are by arrangement with the venue. This is a trading offer rather than a sponsorship package, and it does not include race places.
Ten trading pitches in total; availability confirmed on enquiry.
A complimentary village pitch comes with every sponsorship at £500 and above. The £250 Keepsake Sponsor also includes a free event-village stall.
