Gettysburg Festival of Races

Sponsor This Race Weekend!

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is arguably the best-known small town in America, with name recognition that extends to almost everyone. Through race sponsorship, the Gettysburg Festival of Races gives your business or organization the chance to be involved in one of America’s most unique race weekends that takes place amidst the history of Gettysburg and its picturesque landscape.

Become a sponsor or a vendor for our weekend race expo that draws over 1,500 participants, supporters, and family members. Included with most sponsorships, is a 10 ft. x 10 ft. vendor booth located at the Gettysburg Festival of Races Expo located inside The Aspire Hotel. The expo runs from Saturday to Sunday of the event weekend and is visited by participants to pick up their bibs and race shirts.

The unique nature of this event will also garner greater attention from media sources as press releases about the event go out. If your company would like to tap into that marketing reach, please contact Jen Gaynor and indicate your sponsorship interest.
