2008 ironman advertising opportunities

Thank you for considering advertising with the Minnesota Ironman Bike Ride. Our web site is our primary advertising vehicle. Although sponsorship is another way to show our ridership your support for the Ironman Bike Ride. Last year our web site received over 700,000 hits in the months preceding the annual Ironman Bike Ride. Over 50% of our riders register online each year. This represents thousands of dedicated, local cyclists.

Let Ironmanbikeride.org drive customers to you.

The rider packet: RIP

We have discontinued the printed rider packet as of 2008. Over the past few years we have found rider interest waning in receiving printed materials at the end of the ride. Furthermore, it's a takes a huge amount of paper, most of which eventually winds up in the dumpster. We have decided to put our resources into our web site instead.

The 2008 Rider Packet

In the menu at right there is a "Rider Packet" link. Please take a moment to look it over.

For those businesses that have used the rider packet as an advertising tool to reach the Ironman Bike Ride audience in the past, we welcome you to advertise on our web site, or to rent a booth at the Lakeville High School to reach riders directly. We will also list your ride, event or business free of charge as a text link. We believe these are more effective and efficient ways to advertise your event or business.

Web Advertising

We offer both for-profit business and non-profit business web advertising rates. Please see the appropriate section below.
