SAA/0001 THE FELL RUNNERS ASSOCIATION
The sport of fell running prides itself on its friendship and camaraderie and the experience of running with nature. The focus on competing is coupled with enjoyment of the environment. The Fell Runners Association was formed in 1970 to cater for the needs of all fell runners throughout the country. It now has over 5,000 individual members. Nearly 300 athletic clubs are involved with fell running. Protecting the environment is one of the association's primary aims. It continually liaises with agencies and landowners over access and racing in environmentally sensitive areas. Two major sponsorship opportunities are available currently (see below) but there are plenty of ways to get involved with the FRA, from national championships, Grand Prix events and relays to grassroots and club development programmes.

SAA/0002 THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL MARATHON
In July this year, in aid of the organisation History Makers, a group of people will be running 32 miles in 32 different places in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. The aim of this is to run and raise money for, and awareness of, History Makers. The organisers are looking for a title sponsor of the Great International Marathon. The sponsor will be associated with all aspects of the event in name and in all media and publicity that goes with it, as it is run across the four countries of the British Isles. The event will have other runners joining in each of the locations which are mainly athletics tracks and leisure centres. The cost of the title sponsorship is £1,500, but this is a negotiable rate. Other parts of the event can be sponsored. Please contact Slice Innovations for details and forms. Contact: Simon Cooper, Event Organiser. Address: Slice Innovations Ltd., 76 Tudor Way, Worcester WR2 5QU. Tel.: 01905 421423. E-mail: simon@sliceinnovations.co.uk.

SAA/0003 GREEN BELT RELAY
The Green Belt Relay is a 220 mile trail and road race for teams of ten runners that takes place each year in May and is open to runners and clubs of all standards. It starts from Hampton Court and then circumnavigates London by a route primarily on towpaths, footpaths and quiet country lanes before returning to Kingston. The course is renowned for the spectacular scenery and interesting sites that it passes. The Relay is organised by the Stragglers Running Club - it is strictly a non-profit making event with any surplus funds and money raised being donated to charity. Sponsorship support is now being sought for the next race. Contact: Sean Davis, Race Organiser. Address: 22 Royston Road, Byfleet, Surrey KT14 7PD. Tel.: 007746 062183.seandavis@lycos.co.uk.

SAA/0004 OPEN 5 MILE RACE (Victoria Park, Hackney, closest athletics club to 2012 Olympic Stadium)
2008 will see the 41st anniversary of this event and with 2012 in mind it offers the chance to make a real difference. The club is seeking sponsors urgently, to assist in making this a truly outstanding event and one which will continue the tradition of attracting not only the cream of UK talent but also a number of élite international runners. Past UK winners have included Commonwealth and Olympic athletes Eamonn Martin, Steve Crabb and Rob Denmark. Sponsoring this race presents a real opportunity for a company to benefit from substantial promotional activities. However it will also be an investment in a whole community and in particular in young people, who will be inspired to make their mark on the athletics world in 2012. Several young athletes from the club are already strong Olympic hopefuls - they put in endless hours of work alongside their coaches, all being members of a community sharing the Olympic ideals of dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship. Becoming a sponsor of the VPH Open 5 will provide the sponsoring company with significant promotional opportunities and exposure to a large number of race participants, spectators and the wider public. Sponsors' logos will be displayed on the commemorative prizes and official race website, etc. and can of course be tailored to meet sponsors' own specific objectives, be they local or national. Obviously time is of the essence as the race is just over two months from now. "We would like to ensure that our sponsor receives as much publicity as possible in the lead up to the race. Adding such details to the Runners World website will reach many thousands of athletes, both nationally and internationally". Contact: Barbara McHugh. Address: 392 Lauderdale Tower, Barbican, London EC2Y 8NA. Tel.: 020 7374 4171. E-mail: barbara@citc.it.
