Sponsorship / Advertising
Sponsorship in races helps to ensure the races provide quality opportunities for people to race without having to charge high registration fees. If you are interested in sponsoring but are unsure of what race, how much or even being an “in kind” sponsor, please contact us so we can discuss the possibilities.
We are also working on being able to provide advertising space on this website. Check back for details.
The Ohio Spring Race Series is a group of eight grassroots bicycle races in southwestern Ohio and south eastern Indiana. Five of these races are being promoted by BigDaveSports. These races are considered Road Races as they are on rural country roads and are typically loops of between 8 and 16 miles in length. The racers will do multiple laps depending on their level of experience. All of the races are sanctioned by USA Cycling, the major governing body of bicycle racing in the United States. Each race is expected to draw in 150-200 participants and be considered by hundreds more.
The Ohio Spring Race Series races offer low cost racing opportunities for bicycle racers at the amateur level. In order to keep the costs to the racers low, we often need to solicit sponsorship dollars to cover the costs of facility rentals, police, and USA Cycling fees and officials. Also, due to the current economy, many promoters are offering compensation to those who volunteer their time to help make these races possible. These volunteers are people who work the registration table at the event, drive a lead vehicle for the racers or stand at intersections as Course Marshals to ensure the racers stay on course. Compensation could be financial or just a free race entry. Though not enough to make a living from, it does add up, and this is another way your sponsorship dollars can help make these races possible.
In exchange for your sponsorship, your name and logo will appear on the race flyer for the race(s) you sponsor. If you have a banner, we will be proud to display it at the start/finish line for everyone to see.
You can either sponsor one or two races or receive a discount for sponsoring ALL five races being promoted by BigDaveSports.

There is also the opportunity to be the Title Sponsor for the King of the Mountain Race (KOM) at the Series finale. A KOM race is a race within the race that determines who is consistently to the top of each climb during the race. The extra cost involved with this is in hiring an additional official for that part of the race and prize money for the winners of the KOM. As sponsor of the KOM race, your name will be used whenever referring to the KOM race, i.e. ABC Corp King of the Mountain. There will be only one Title Sponsor for the King of the Mountain.
□ Sunday, May 23, 2010 – King of the Mountain Competition: St. Leon, IN $500.00
