Sponsorship

For many people, their first experience with Fit & Able is at one of our signature events. What comes as a surprise to lots of people is that’s not all we do! We also offer several other events and programs throughout the year for runners, and soon to be runners, of all ages, abilities, and skill levels.

Community Partners

The “Art of the Possible”

Working to bring these events to our audience often presents opportunities to involve other community partners. We’re always open to discuss the “art of the possible” with any organization that might be interested in enhancing our events and programs. And we approach each inquiry as a unique opportunity to create customized programs to leverage the assets of all partners involved to their maximum benefit.

Fit & Able partners will find many values in establishing a working relationship with us. From boosting employee health, morale, and teamwork to the enhancement of their organization’s brand image, the opportunities abound.

FAQ

Questions About Sponsoring

Which Fit & Able events can my business sponsor?

Any of the 14 events on our running menu, from Mutts & Marshmallows in January to Last Mile in December. You can sponsor a single event or the whole year as a Series Sponsor. Email info@fitandable.net and we'll walk you through the options.

Who will my business reach by sponsoring a race in Cary?

Runners, walkers, families, spectators, and volunteers from Cary and across the Research Triangle area. Depending on the level, sponsors are recognized on our social media, in our email newsletters, on the race registration site, and at the event.

Is a sponsorship the same as an exhibitor booth?

No. An exhibitor booth gives your business space at the event to meet participants. A sponsorship adds recognition, like your name or logo on our social media, newsletters, race site, and event signage. You can also do both.

Is sponsoring a Fit & Able race tax-deductible?

A Fit & Able sponsorship is a marketing expense for your business, which is why it's tax-deductible. Fit & Able Productions, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Cary, NC.
