The Ridgway 1K Rally Through the Alley and San Juan Oktoberfest are all about community, creativity, and a little bit of ridiculous fun—bringing people together in a way that only Ridgway can. From costumed runners and high-energy aid stations to live music, food, and fall celebration in the park, these events create lasting memories for participants of all ages. But behind the scenes, they require significant coordination, infrastructure, and support to bring to life. That’s where our sponsors and underwriters come in.
Your support helps us cover the essential costs of producing these events—from logistics and safety to entertainment, equipment, and promotion—while keeping the experience vibrant, welcoming, and accessible to the community.
Our goal is to fully fund these events through sponsorship, allowing us to focus on delivering something truly special while keeping participation as open and inclusive as possible.
We couldn’t do this without our sponsors—thank you for helping make these events possible. Each sponsorship level comes with its own mix of recognition, perks, and a few fun extras. As the event approaches, we’ll be in touch via email with all the details on what’s included and how to enjoy your sponsor benefits. As an added bonus, donations of $250 or more qualify for Enterprise Zone tax credits.
We are deeply grateful for the businesses and individuals who invest in these moments. These events simply wouldn’t happen without the strength and generosity of our community.
