Enthuse’s ‘Rising To The Challenge’ Report - 10 mass participation insights for sponsors The Covid-19 era aside, mass participation events have always held a strong appeal for sponsors. A great way to cut through the clutter of competition, they act as a gateway to multiple media touch points, diverse activation opportunities and powerful community/charitable partnerships – all at a reasonable price. They are also diverse in character, with a broad array of rights holders offering mass participation events across running, walking, cycling, swimming and adventure courses to name a few. This rich range of activities makes it possible to reach elusive and affluent segments of the population – while it also provides an ideal opportunity to build authentic interactions with employees. One of the most interesting dimensions of mass participation events is their close connection with charities, with a significant number of participants raising large sums of money for their chosen charities across the year.

At One Impossible Thing we want to break down barriers that impede people from participating in sport. Redistributing preloved sports shoes to those who struggle to afford them, is our main way of doing this. But we also know that sometimes motivation is a barrier from getting out there and being active. Which is why we're involved in organising the Boxmoor Virtual Marathon! The idea is to run, bike, scoot, walk, swim or wheel your way through the 26 miles/42kms, over a ten week period. In this Olympic year, the virtual marathon starts when the Olympic Flame arrives in France on 8th May. You have until mid July to complete your marathon, so you can have your finishers medal in time for the Olympic Opening Ceremony! It’s a great challenge for families, who can get out together on their bikes or on a walk together. If you do 5kms each week, you’ll have completed your marathon by July, with time to spare! All money raised through sponsorship will ensure we can carry on with all the work we do with schools, homeless charities, refugees groups and school holiday activity camps. Once registered, you can ask families and friends to sponsor you. If you ask 10 people for £10, that’s £100 you’ve raised!

Changing marketing tactics and shaking things up at The Great Run Company. This is the first time I have seen a major race open their ballot before the current year's event has ran. It's a bold move - and I like it. Here's why: 😎 Innovation is key: it's good to try new things - it gives the opportunity to test, learn and improve. 😍 Emotional investment: opening the ballot BEFORE this year's race allows people to invest even more emotionally, imagining themselves - quite literally - in the shoes of those braving 13.1 miles, as the 2024 event unfolds. 🏃♂️Closing the gap: no more waiting to sign up. Excitement is captured at its peak, closing the gap between desire and action. 📣 Hype hype and more hype. Does the GNR need more people entering? Maybe not. Does it need to continue to raise it's brand profile, attract top-tier sponsorship and drive increased philanthropic giving for the causes it supports? Absolutely. 📏 Data-driven decisions. The effects of other initiatives and attribution aside, this change can be measured, analysed and impact demonstrated. 😁 It makes people happy! Give the people what they want! Customer-centricity at its best. I for one am here for the change, and yes - although I've yet to run this year's distance, I have already signed up for my chance to be there again in 2025. Hope to see you there! 🥇

Welcome to South Africa’s first warm water ocean challenge of its kind. Founded by charities for charities, the Oceans 8 Charity Swim is more than just an event. We are a community united by a passion for swimming and commitment to make meaningful change in South Africa. First launched in 2023, our vision is to provide a reliable and sustainable flow of funding annually to 14 deserving non-profit organisations who have a footprint in KwaZulu-Natal. These funds support essential work in education, environmental protection, community development, and upliftment for those most in need. Our aim: • Position the event as one of the iconic events on the KZN sporting calendar and provide an exceptional experience for both participants and sponsors. • Attract a diverse group of swimmers and sports enthusiasts from beginners to seasoned athletes. • Promote environmental responsibility and raise awareness about ocean pollution. Continue our efforts to aim for a single-use plastic-free event, selling the example to all sporting events regarding hydration of participants. • Encourage an active lifestyle and mental wellbeing through open-water swimming, one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. • Provide a platform annually for our 14 benefitting charities to amplify their missions, increasing public awareness and understanding of their work. • Stimulate the economy, supporting local businesses and community projects by engaging with like-minded suppliers and service providers. • Maintain high standards of organization and auditing, ensuring all funds raised are accounted for and transparently distributed to charities. • Align with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals *(Source: THE 17 GOALS | Sustainable Development [un.org])
