Kiwanis Club Of Camarillo

Every year, local advertisers publish their ads in the event program, web site, and T-shirts for the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo’s George M. Thayer 5K/10K Run.  This year, we’ve added some exciting new options, including race route signage, feature articles on our blog, and our 1st Annual Crazy Publicity Stunt Contest.

Race Route Signage – Advertisers will receive a 15″H x 20″W color, laminated, foam board sign that will stand on 18″ metal legs along the race routes.  After the race, advertisers will receive their signs for display in their businesses, photographing for their corporate giving materials, etc.  The signs will be visible to the hundreds of runners participating in this year’s event as well as passersby along the race route.  (The image at left is a mock-up only.  Typos have been corrected to the master that will be used for the actual signs for the race.)

Feature Articles – The Kiwanis Club of Camarillo will interview you, write a feature article for our blog about your organization, and promote the feature article via our social media outlets.  You will be able to link to the article from your own web site and submit it to your own social media outlets, as well.

Both race route signage and feature article coverage can be provided as part of a sponsorship package or a la carte.  For our advertising rate sheet, please click here.

The Kiwanis Club of Camarillo and the Camarillo Recreation & Park District will again host the annual Camarillo Celtic Fair on May 1 and 2, 2010 at Freedom Park in Camarillo.

This year the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo will be hosting its 32nd George M. Thayer 5K/10K Run on April 10, 2010. Every year, we welcome hundreds of runners to participate in this event, which raises money for the George M. Thayer Scholarship Fund and other projects our club carries out to benefit the children of Camarillo.

This year, however, we’re adding a new and exciting opportunity for local businesses.  Inspired by last year’s entry of local radio DJ Bo Jaxson, who ran in our 5K Race wearing a bridal gown from Camarillo Bridal accompanied by the ladies from the shop wearing bride’s maids veils, the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo is proud to announce its First Annual Crazy Publicity Stunt Contest!

Photograph and/or video tape your company’s team as they run in our 5K Race in silly costumes and/or carry silly props, then upload your pictures and/or videos to your social media accounts.  The winner of the race will be chosen by the local citizenry who will vote for their favorites here on our blog.  Folks are encouraged to watch the 5K Race then come online to our blog to vote for the team with the costumes and/or props that they liked the best!  A special voting widget will be placed on this site on the day of the race for people to vote.

Once you’ve uploaded your pictures and/or videos, post a comment to the blog article that will be published when we announce the winner so we can see them!  For official rules and entry form, click here.
