Event West and Plymouth Citybus have recently agreed on a new main sponsorship deal for the Britain’s Ocean City Half Marathon and 10k event in 2017.
The main sponsorship deal followed on from the success of last year’s Plymouth 10k, where Citybus entered 35 runners into the corporate challenge and placed 4th out of 46 teams.
In the lead up to both events, runners entered to take part can look forward to receiving some transport related benefits, giving discounted travel over the race weekends, via its popular mobile app.
Event organisers recommend allowing additional time when travelling throughout the city during race weekend.
Travel information for the event can be found at www.runplymouth.co.uk
David Williams, Commercial Director, Event West: “We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Plymouth Citybus in a main sponsorship deal for the Britain’s Ocean City Running Series in 2017. The support we received at last year’s Plymouth 10k was fantastic and we look forward to offering runners additional transport related benefits as we approach the half marathon in April.”
Mark Collins, Commercial and Marketing Manager, Plymouth Citybus said: “As the main mover of people in the city it is great to be part of a growing running series. Following on from the success of being transport sponsor for the 2016 Plymouth 10k, we are delighted to make the move up and become main series sponsor, now adding the Half Marathon to the list. As a dedicated community partner in the city, we look forward to being part of a local community based series.”

X169 FBB also in the area. Last seen as a covered top heading for South East Coachworks at Faversham, which was where Stagecoach's Scanias were converted some years ago.
Delete202 - seems like a strange one. Updating/removing Dennis Dart stickers? Surely with this batch suspected to come of the road this year would it not make more sense for 250 or 252 to be relivered to replace 206
