Cross Country for Youth — Sponsorship Pack
The Sefton Primary Schools Cross Country League is one of the biggest grassroots school sport competitions in Merseyside — and we'd love your business to be part of it.
Why sponsor the league?
Every autumn and winter, primary schools from across Sefton and Liverpool bring their runners to five Saturday fixtures — four races at every meeting, for boys and girls in Years 3 to 6. Behind every finish line is a child discovering what they're capable of. Your sponsorship keeps entry prices low, funds medals, kit and equipment, and helps the best runners progress to county and national level. It also puts your brand in front of hundreds of local families, teachers and school decision-makers, week after week.
