Get Involved: Become a Sponsor
The Pit Run is designed to be a day of joy, celebration and fun for the whole Oneonta community. It brings many people into town for the weekend and is a golden opportunity for the promotion of your company's or organization's name, products, and services.

Many local businesses have served as sponsors including New York Central Mutual, Eastman Associates, WDOS/WSRK, the Sixth Ward Athletic Club,  The Oneonta Daily Star, NYSEG, Clark Companies, Bassett HealthCare Sportsmedicine, Sport Tech, and William H. Lane, Inc. These sponsors recognize the importance of this event to the Leatherstocking Region of New York State. We invite you to become a part of this wonderful event and help it grow into an event that is considered one of the "must do’s" in New York state.

To acknowledge the contributions of our sponsors to the success of The Pit Run, we include a listing of all sponsors in our press releases, on a large sponsors’ sign the day of the event in Neahwa Park, and on our www page in addition to special acknowledgments noted below.
