Support Borrego’s World Time Trial Championships

Share

Get Involved in Borrego’s Premier Cycling Event

The 6-12-24 Hour World Time Trial Championships return to Borrego Springs from November 1-3, bringing 250 racers and their crews. Local businesses and volunteers are invited to get involved through sponsorships or helping at the event, strengthening Borrego's role in this exciting competition.


Here’s how you can participate:



For just $250, local businesses can have a 3”x5” flyer included in each racer’s packet and receive two social media promotions: one on the 6-12-24 Hour World Time Trial Championships Facebook page (3,800 followers) and another on the Race Across America (RAAM) page (67,000 followers). The first post will run before the event, and the second in spring prior to RAAM, when many racers return to Borrego Springs to train.


Sponsorships can be paid via cash, check, or, for restaurants, gift cards that can be used by event staff. This is a unique chance to advertise to a highly engaged audience of cyclists who frequent Borrego Springs.


  • Business Sponsorships: $250 for a flyer in racer packets and social media promotion on event pages with thousands of followers.


  • Volunteer Opportunities: Assist with racer check-ins, packet distribution, and timing.


  • Friday, Nov 1: 11am - 3pm (4 volunteers)
  • Saturday, Nov 2: 12pm - 3pm (2 volunteers)
  • Sunday, Nov 3: 7am - 9am (3 volunteers)
