Please ensure that any sponsor branding complies with the event’s rules and does not interfere with your official race number or required clothing and equipment.
Many participants choose to raise funds for a charity or cause that is personally meaningful to them.
A good way to approach potential sponsors is to write to local and national companies explaining:
- Your intention to take part in the 777 World Marathon Challenge®
- The personal reason behind your participation
- The charity or cause you will support
- The potential media exposure and positive brand association
- The type of support you are seeking
After sending your letter, follow up with a phone call to the relevant contact. Explain how supporting your participation could benefit your company, your chosen charity, and your personal journey.
With the right partnership, sponsorship can create a positive outcome for everyone involved: the charity, the sponsoring company, and you.Good luck with your fundraising and sponsorship journey!
Subject: 2027 World Marathon Challenge® Sponsorship Opportunity
Dear __________,
I am writing to introduce a unique and exciting marketing and sponsorship opportunity for your company.
In January 2027, Runbuk, Inc. will organize the 10th edition of the 777 World Marathon Challenge®. Athletes from around the world will run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, traveling from Antarctica through Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America, and North America.
I intend to participate in this extraordinary challenge, but I need to raise the necessary funds to cover my entry and travel expenses. This is why I am reaching out to you.
A challenge of this scale naturally attracts local, regional, and international media attention—not only in sports media, but also in news, lifestyle publications, magazines, radio, television, podcasts, and online media.
By supporting my participation, your company would have an opportunity to promote its name and products to an international audience and associate its brand with determination, endurance, and an extraordinary global challenge. Sponsorship may also provide valuable opportunities for brand visibility through event photography, media coverage, and my own fundraising and promotional activities.
In addition, I will use my participation in the World Marathon Challenge® to raise funds and awareness for ____________________, a charity or cause that is important to me. Your company could therefore be positively associated with supporting this meaningful cause.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this sponsorship proposal with you and explain how we could work together. In the meantime, please visit www.worldmarathonchallenge.com to learn more about the event.
Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
