Sponsorship Opportunities
Support the local paddling community by sponsoring this highly visible and fast-growing weekly race
Sponsoring this fun, weekly competition on Portland’s busy waterfront is a fantastic way to show your organization’s support for the paddling community!
Revenues from registrations only cover a portion of the costs involved in running the race series, so sponsors are essential to ensuring its long-term viability. Sponsorship funds are used to finance a race organizer salary, participant t-shirts, a racing software subscription, event promotion and supplies such as marker buoys and timers.
