Corporate Sponsorship
Make a Lasting Impact in Your Community
You’ve
achieved success in your business; now's your chance to give back meaningfully. Christchurch Schools Racing provides young people with a unique opportunity to build confidence, health, and community spirit. Through cycling, our students develop resilience, teamwork, and a positive, active lifestyle.
Without your support, we risk letting these children down. By sponsoring these events, you’re investing in the future of Canterbury’s youth, directly contributing to their physical and personal growth. Partner with us to make a tangible difference that benefits the wider community for years to come.
Join our current passionate sponsors like Scotty Brown at Scotty Brown Emporium—a celebrated cyclist and medaled athlete—and Alex Mann from Big Boy Digital Marketing, a 30-year veteran cyclist dedicated to ensuring exceptional event organisation and management.
Together, let’s keep our youth racing forward.
Support Financially
Running safe, structured events takes significant resources. While volunteers are the backbone of our events, relying exclusively on volunteer support isn't sustainable long-term. Donations help us engage skilled professionals for key roles, ensuring consistency, accountability, and continued growth.
Every dollar directly supports essential traffic management, race timing, and professional oversight, enabling more Canterbury kids to experience safe, competitive cycling.

Common Questions from New Parents
My child is the only one from their school — can they still race?
→ Absolutely. They’ll be graded by ability, not school numbers.
What gear do they need?
→ Helmet, gloves, roadworthy bike, and ideally a school-coloured top. Loaner bikes and kit may be available if needed.
How do we pay?
→ Details are shared by email, or talk to the Race Director when you get in touch.
