Business sponsors

A true marketing partnership

We want to provide our sponsors with more than acknowledgement - we want your investment to get value in return.

We can help you reach a region-wide audience, and soon, cycle tourists from across the world.


Business sponsorship benefits

All businesses who sponsor the trail receive the following:

  • An invitation to the Trail Opening event.

  • A certificate to display in your business.

  • A graphic to display on your website and social media.

See below for further benefits you’ll receive with each sponsorship tier.
