Colorado Stage Sponsorship
The Colorado Stage presents a unique opportunity to engage with the cycling enthusiast who is active, outdoor focused, educated and affluent. Colorado is the natural home for a world class cycling event considering the massive enthusiasm for the sport recreationally and a natural geography that has inspired cycling enthusiasts for decades. There are a number of pro cyclists and teams based in the state and Colorado that will always be associated with our heritage in pro cycling from the days of the Coors Classic. Their excitement for the return of professional cycling to Colorado is only surpassed by our own.
Tens of thousands will flock from all over the region to the event, hundreds of thousands will experience the event online through a live webcast and website, and millions will watch on national and international TV.
The Overall Event Entitlement Partner
The Title position ensures enviable exposure. The Title position reaches everyone and everywhere the Colorado Stage reaches. An international cycling event of this magnitude will garner significant recognition globally throughout the highly affluent cycling demographic, nationally as a marquee event for the sport in the United States and regionally as spectators flock to the event and Colorado Rocky Mountains.
As a first year event, the Title partner has the unique opportunity to play an important role in shaping the Stage to achieve its objectives. For more information about becoming the overall event Title Partner, please contact Simon Hoskins at 970-949-1999.
