The Isle of Skye Half Marathon: Powered by Partnership and Community
The Isle of Skye Half Marathon wouldn't be the epic event it is today without the incredible support of our sponsors. Their partnership has been instrumental in transforming this race from a local gathering of 140 runners in 1984, to a global phenomenon attracting participants from around the world!
But the impact goes far beyond the race itself. As a Social Enterprise, Skye Events utilises sponsorship support to give back to the local community. We host a variety of events to inspire physical activity amongst islanders, fostering a healthier, more active Skye.
The impact is real. Thanks to sponsorships, Skye Events donated over £10,000 to local charities last year alone!
Interested in becoming a sponsor? We're actively seeking partners for the 2025 race. If you'd like to join us in supporting our incredible events and the Skye community, we'd love to hear from you!
