Multisport athletes tend to be extraordinarily fit, and many amateur athletes choose our
sports specifically for their fitness benefits. Sponsoring our events is an effective way to
associate your product or service with this unique experience and healthy lifestyle; you will
gain direct exposure to our athletes and their spectators through our events.
Few sports can boast the demographic of the average triathlete. Extremely focused and
driven to succeed, these affluent young professionals not only embrace new technologies
but have the purchasing power to obtain them. Triathletes are active, educated
professionals that have a disposable income and the tendency to spend on autos,
electronics, apparel, financial services and investments, travel and other premium
product/service categories.
The following pages include information on the various ways that your company can gain
exposure through support of the 2016 Multisport Series. Please contact us with any
questions you may have.
We look forward to partnering with you for this fabulous event series!

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES
In addition to generating brand loyalty within target audiences, your company’s sponsorship of the Multisport Series will:
 Associate your business with positive and health-related events;
 Enhance employee engagement, motivation and participation (many sponsorship levels include free entries and
discounts provided to your employees; some companies use the event as a team building exercise by volunteering
at a water station or cheering section);
 Get your goods directly into the hands of engaged consumers and drive sales to your retail outlets;
 Provide directed marketing and promotion campaigns.
We have created a range of sponsorship opportunities to promote your business or organization through sport tourism.
Through logo placement and product distribution we allow local, national and international businesses and organizations to
increase brand awareness and visibility by reaching all event participants as well as over 35,000 members of the
Multisportscanada event series.
