The promoters of the Don Aronow Memorial Marathon Race Around Long Island are looking for businesses and individuals interested in sponsorship of next year’s event. Major Sports TV networks have expressed interest in a NASCAR style live broadcast of the event. A sponsor who is looking to promote their brand in the international market could use the event to showcase their product before millions of potential users. The hope is to attract more pre race interest and help to defray the overhead.
