Sponsor Us
Thousands of people flock to the Copper Country each July for one of the U.P.’s premier sporting events — and we’d love to welcome you as a sponsor. This is a chance to get your brand in front of a huge amount of people, support a healthy and family-friendly event that’s been a staple in our community for nearly five decades, and feel good as you’ll be part of the Canal Run Gives Back Program that’s raised more than $25,000 for non-profits in our community. We are proud to announce that the Canal Run Gives Back Program recipient for 2024 is the Copper Country Humane Society!

Get Involved — Get Creative
The Canal Run hasn’t been successful by doing the same thing as everyone else. We’ve had chip timing longer than most other regional events have existed, our free high-resolution photo downloads have made the Canal Run a social media darling, and our signature t-shirts are collector items for thousands of people across the country. With that said, we’re always looking for ways to push further. We’d love to have your help to do that. Things like becoming a race name sponsor, offering a scholarship to get more racers in free or having an aid station named after you are all things we’d love to work with you to do. The ideas are endless, and we look forward to working with you to make the next great thing happen.
