Run to the Sun relay

Run to the Sun offers valuable opportunities for corporate sponsorship ranging from $500 to $5,000. As a Run to the Sun sponsor, your organization will be exposed to an elite group of civic-minded, athletic, family-focused leaders. Join us by sponsoring the Run to the Sun Relay – an overnight, long-distance run from Enchanted Rock to Austin. Stand with us at sunrise while we celebrate the strength and determination of the children impacted by Batten disease. For more information about how you or your company can get involved, please contact Rachel Armbruster at runtothesun@beyondbatten.org or 512-944-3417.
