0.5K MicroMarathon Sponsorship Package

Are you yearning for an opportunity to be a part of something refreshingly unique and break free from the monotony of sponsoring typical 5K races? Well, look no further, because we invite you to consider supporting the 0.5K MicroMarathon "Run" scheduled for December 9, 2023, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the historic Market Square right in the heart of downtown Brownsville. Our event, the Brownsville Market Square 0.5K MicroMarathon, is like a delightful miniature version of a traditional 5K race. It's designed as a "running event for the rest of us" and is infused with all the pageantry and enthusiasm of a regular long distance race, but without the requirement to run for more than a couple of minutes. This is a celebration of fun and camaraderie where local businesses will set up hydration stations (some stations offering delightful, fermented beverages), and participants can recharge with delectable tacos at the midway point of the "race." Holiday costumes are not only welcomed but encouraged.

Below you will find the Sponsorship Levels and their description. 

To commit to be a sponsor please click the link to download the sponsorship packet. All sponsorship commitment forms must be submitted by November 15, 2023.
