Marathon & Running Promotional Items

Marathon & Running Promotional Items

Arranging a walk or run can be the perfect way to mobilize people for your cause and help participants get in shape. Running events and marathons test your limits and promote physical wellness. Marathons can be found in many communities across the country. While organizing our event, remember to incorporate marathon promotional items into your marketing budget. 

Running promotional items are ideal as registration gifts. Participants can use the items during the race, and while on runs in the future. These include items such as pedometers and lace reflectors as well as lightweight, drawstring bags, earbuds and water bottles. Sunblock and bug spray are also thoughtful additions that runners would appreciate on race day. Consider post-race items, too, like hot/cold gel packs and healthy snacks for recovery.

Other marathon promotional items may be more appropriate for donors and volunteers instead of the participants. Remember to give everyone a t-shirt promoting the event – distinguish apparel by giving different colors to volunteers and participants. Offer incentives for donors. Consider providing tiered incentives, so the larger the donation, the better the gift. Incentive gifts can range from ball caps and tote bags with your organization's logo to jackets and Bluetooth speakers.
