A memorable two‑day mountain bike festival · Nelson, NZ · 26–27 September 2026

Why partner with Coppermine?
We offer more than logo placement. You get real engagement with mountain bikers across New Zealand and Australia – from elite racers to families trying their first event. Our 2025 One Day event achieved the following results for sponsors, and we hope to more than double that in 2026.
What you actually receive
- Logo on event website, race bibs, start/finish signage, and social media (four‑month campaign)
- Professional race photography – use the images for your own marketing
- Free event entries: one per $500 of sponsorship (bring staff, customers, or athletes)
- Category naming rights if you choose a specific race (Classic winners, E‑Bike, Double, Kids Race)
- Post‑event report: reach, impressions, media value, audience breakdown
A genuine growth partnership
We’re scaling from 71 participants (2025) to 250+ in the next two years. Sponsors who join now become founding partners in a destination event that supports Nelson’s trail community and attracts visitors from across NZ and Australia. You grow with us, not just as a sticker on a banner.
No obligation. We’ll email you the full proposal, media kit, and commitment deadlines.
