SPONSOR INFORMATION

The Signal Mountain Pie Run is produced through the support of its race sponsors who generously provide some level of $ to the race because they want to support the race, the Chattanooga Track Club and our local running community.

They also do it, of course, because they want their brand associated with the awesome Signal Mountian Pie Run Brand!! 

And that association happens when their corporate logo appears in conjunction with all of the SMPR's marketing and advertising media, as well as in CTC club newsletters promoting the race and, where applicable, on Signal Mountain Pie Run merchandise (like t-shirts, awards, etc. - this particular level of branding does mandate minimum levels of financial support to ensure we cover our merchandise production and/or labelling costs).

To find out more, please contact our race director, Bill Minehan, or one of his sponsorship team assistants - Jane Webb, or Bill Brock.
