The Marathon of the Treasure Coast will draw more than 1,500 attendees each day and hundreds of endurance athletes who will participate in the races. Runners will make their way, for 26.2 miles, through the beautiful streets of Stuart, Jensen Beach, Hutchinson Island and Sewall’s Point. We invite you to participate in all of this, and to promote your brand and products, as a special sponsor for this event in a variety of packaged categories described in the following pages. We are also open to your suggestions regarding other ways you might be interested in promoting your business to our community in the weeks leading up to, during and several months after the Marathon of the Treasure Coast 2016. This event is hosted by TC Running of the Treasure Coast to enable philanthropic and community outreach through endurance athletics and special events. A list of our primary charitable beneficiaries are described at the end of this packet. The Marathon of the Treasure Coast is designed to enhance our community by bringing visitors from outside the county, state and country to experience all the Treasure Coast has to offer.
