Sponsorship
Once we receive your signup, we will let you know how to kick start your sponsorship!
Not that strong on two-wheels, but would still like to support the cause? Not only can you come along on the day and cheer loudly, you can choose an individual rider or the whole team effort to support. Every pound raised will kick off our Playground Refurbishment Project and be hugely appreciated by our riders. No doubt your support will REALLY spur them on while racing 'round the oval.
Click the donate button below and enter your rider's name when prompted to add a note. Or just put "TEAM" if your sponsorship is non-rider-specific.
