Running a successful race event is a marathon not a sprint

8th June 2015

It’s the season for marathons, half-marathons and 10k races – we have banners to make your event a success

Runners all over the country are emerging from their hibernation of training to compete in distance races in a bid to win prizes, slash their personal best times and raise money for worthwhile charities.

Whether it’s a marathon, half-marathon, 10k, triathlon or Ironman event, these events generally involve thousands of runners and event organisers clearly need signage when it comes to directing people to the start line.

Banners are also a great way of advertising the event in the first place, while our products can be used to alert motorists and pedestrians that certain roads will be closed while an army of runners plod the streets around a city centre.

Our cheap PVC banners continue to sell like hot cakes and it’s little surprise when you consider they start from £13.99. This is an affordable price not just for companies organising races but also spectators who want something eye-catching to lend support to family members or friends who are participating.

But these banners aren’t poor quality for that price. We’re talking about strong durable materials which withstand the elements in an outdoor space, while the eyelets you use to tie the banners are rustproof.

It means that our PVC banners can be used over and over again, while an order of two or more will result in free delivery of products to your designated address.

If you have a fantastic design and logo to put on your banners, then it’s easy peasy to project that on your banners and we’ll send you the final proof before getting to work on making it perfect.

Alternatively, we have a free design service at our website which can be utilised to get your marketing message bang on. We’ll work alongside you to get the message right and using relevant images until you’re happy with what you have got.

You can choose between a colour or mono PVC banner, with added corner strength available for a small fee which will prolong the outdoor life of a banner should you want to recycle it for various events.

There are naturally lots of other display items which can play a big role in the organisation of a running event, with roll-up banners really useful when it comes to people collecting their race number or directing people to areas such as luggage, massage or toilets.

A full range of feather flags and sail banners are available too if you have a grassy area in a prominent place, especially by a busy roadside so that the message can be displayed over and over by pedestrians and motorists.

If you want to go the whole hog, then an overhead banner frame will stand tall and proud above everyone. A great idea if you’re having a stage at the event to get runners warmed up and feeling ready to smash that personal best! And don't miss out on the range of banner stands & displays with a wide choice selection online.
