Brought to you by the organisers of the Bupa Great North Run, The Great Manchester Cycle is the UK's biggest ever closed road timed cycling event. Now in its second year there are a number of significant opportunities for companies to align their brand with this unique and vibrant event. Currently there is the opportunity to become the title sponsor for this event and benefit from exposure in all marketing and promotional activity surrounding the event.

This event is very on trend. Following the success of the British Cycling team at the London 2012 Olympics, a huge proportion of the population has taken up cycling. This event is a perfect opportunity for you to reach and engage with your consumers. The event consists of 3 distances which attract all abilities, allowing you to communicate with a broad audience from families through to 26-45 year old men who are keen cyclists. The large participant turnout and with over 20,000 spectators this unique event allows a brand to achieve significant brand awareness.

Title sponsorship ensures brand exposure and the ability to communicate with a participant throughout their journey. The opportunity to align a brand with a current and popular sport enables a brand to gain a stronger relationship with its consumers. We can offer digital and on the ground touch points which offer a full spectrum of brand awareness and consumer interaction possibilities.

Previous title sponsor has been the Daily Mirror. Past and current partners include Powerade, British Cycling, Aqua Pura, Manchester Evening News, Key103, Manchester City Council.
