Invest in community health, youth athletics, and local excellence.
The Columbia Track Club is unifying our premier events into a single, high-impact sponsorship window. This includes our major championship races—the Heart of America Marathon (HOA) and Rock Bridge Revenge (RBR)—alongside our cornerstone community events: Summer Youth Track Series, Cheese and Sauerkraut, and our year-round group runs.
Your Track A Partnership makes you the brand behind the entire club—powering our timing systems, outfitting our 100+ volunteer workforce, and directly funding the CTC Scholarship for local athletes.
Note: We utilize this secure portal to capture your partnership agreement and collect your branding assets. We happily recognize in-kind donations at the corresponding tier levels.
