Why it works

A sponsor moment that earns its keep

01

High dwell time

Runners actively seek out the lounge and stay while their medal is personalized — real minutes with your brand, not a walk-by.

02

Social amplification

A personalized medal is the most shareable thing at the festival. Your branding rides along in every photo and story.

03

Positive association

Your brand is tied to the runner's proudest moment of the day — celebratory, emotional, earned.

04

Lasting memorability

The engraved medal becomes a keepsake on the wall — your brand, top-of-mind long after race day.
