A loyal, active audience across a full Houston season.
Runners, families, and spectators who train for months and celebrate for weeks. Your brand shows up in the photos, the stories, and the finish line memories.
Three distinct crowds. All owned and produced by one team.
Because we own these events, sponsorship is a direct conversation. No rights holder in the middle, and we can build a package around what you actually want.
Five ways in, at every event.
The same ladder runs across all three events, so a brand can move up or down it without relearning what it gets. Prices and the full inclusions for each level are on each event page.
What a partnership looks like.
From the first conversation to the recap report, here is how a sponsorship actually runs. We produce and time these events ourselves, so the person who sells you the package is on site making sure it happens.
A conversation
We start with what you are trying to accomplish rather than which package you want. Brand awareness, sampling, hiring, foot traffic to a nearby location, and community goodwill are all different goals, and they point to different assets.
A package
You get a written proposal with the benefits, the investment, and the event's audience laid out. Standard tier, named role, or a custom mix, whichever actually fits.
An agreement
A straightforward agreement you can accept online. No printing, no scanning, no chasing signatures.
Artwork and deadlines
We send you one list: what we need from you, what size, and the date each piece is due. The printed assets have the earliest deadlines, and we tell you those up front rather than after they pass.
Event day
Your booth space is reserved and marked before you arrive. Your branding is already installed. Our crew is on site from setup through teardown, so if something needs fixing there is someone to fix it.
The recap
A report on how the event performed and where your brand showed up, so the renewal conversation starts with numbers instead of impressions.
Sponsorship questions.
What does a sponsorship actually get us on event day?
It depends on the level, but every package includes a reserved 10'x10' booth space and the right to run activities from it: sampling, a raffle, lead capture, whatever fits your brand. From there it scales. Higher levels add your logo to the things participants keep (the finish medal, the event shirt, their race photos) and the things everyone walks past (the start and finish arch, course signage, the LED screen).
Can we be the only brand in our category?
Yes. Category exclusivity means no competing brand in your category is sold into that event, and it is included automatically with a Presenting sponsorship. At Premier and Supporting it is available as an add-on. It is worth asking early: once a category is committed to another brand for an edition, it is gone for that year.
Do we have to take one of the standard packages?
No. The tiers and named roles are the standard ways in because they are the ones most brands want, but every asset we offer can be combined into a custom package. Tell us the budget and what you are trying to accomplish and we will put a mix together. Plenty of partnerships end up as a tier plus one or two additions from somewhere else on the menu.
We are a small local business. Is there a level that fits?
Yes. Vendor and Booth partnerships start at $500 and get you in front of the crowd with a reserved booth and announcer mentions. It is the same event, the same audience, at a size that makes sense for a local shop or a single-location business.
Can we sponsor more than one event?
Yes, and it is the better deal if the audiences all work for you. The NSP Annual Partner package is one agreement covering Houston Resolution Run, Houston Kids Triathlon, and Houston Fourth Fest, at a discount to what those three cost bought separately. It is one negotiation, one invoice, and one set of artwork deadlines instead of three.
How far ahead do we need to commit?
Earlier is better, and the reason is production deadlines rather than sales pressure. Anything printed (shirts, medals, race numbers, course signage, the arch banner) has a hard art deadline weeks before the event, and once it passes those assets are off the table for that edition. The on-site and digital pieces stay available much later. If you are close to a deadline, ask, and we will tell you honestly what can still be included for that edition.
Is it cash only, or will you take in-kind?
Cash is the preference, and most partnerships are cash. The door is open to in-kind when the product or service is something the event actually needs, and a few roles are well suited to it. If you think you have something that fits, raise it early. We look at those case by case and will tell you straight whether it works rather than trying to make it fit.
What do we get after the event?
A recap report covering how the event performed and where your brand showed up: participation numbers, the digital and email reach your logo was part of, and photography of your branding and activation on site. It is the thing you forward internally when someone asks whether the sponsorship was worth renewing.
