About Sponsored Segments

Segments

Be Part of the Runs that Matter

Sponsored segments connect brands with runners through gamification and celebration of their daily run, trail adventure or that "once in a lifetime" marathon race.

Activate on the ground

Segment challenges allow brands to activate on the very same course that the event participants use in real life.

Segment challenges are perfect for activating around major races and extending your reach from IRL to digital.

Athletic Achievements

Powered by Strava

The biggest running events, in the biggest cities, are all powered by Strava. Over 50% of Marathon Major participants uploaded their races to Strava in 2022.

Strava is the home of the race results, photos & videos capturing the energy of each event, race recaps, celebrations, routes and so much more.
Athletes love sharing their race experiences on Strava.

In 2022, The TCS NYC Marathon had over 7 million earned impressions from athlete uploads on marathon weekend alone.

Why Sponsored Segments?

IRL to Digital

No other activation allows you to completely connect digital engagement with real life locations and accomplishments.

Great brand moments

Sponsored Segments link brands to people around their physical achievements. Maybe that's why our campaigns regularly win awards.

Local to Global

Whether activating around individual retail locations or major races, to multiple cities around the world, Segments allow you to target from hyperlocal to worldwide.
