Partner with OCRA.
Supporting the sport
OCRA works with organisations that want to support the development of obstacle sport in Ireland — creating better opportunities for athletes, clubs, coaches, events and communities.
We are a volunteer-led non-profit, so partnership money goes into the sport rather than into overhead.
Who we work with
Businesses, sports organisations, race organisers, training facilities, educational organisations, local authorities, community organisations, sports technology providers, equipment suppliers, media, health and fitness organisations, and tourism and destination partners.
What a partnership can support
Team Ireland — team clothing, athlete preparation, travel, equipment, team operations and championship support. International competition is where Irish athletes are most visible and least funded.
Events and competition — sponsorship of OCRA events, qualification races and National Championships, plus equipment, venues, technical services, timing, athlete services, media and awards.
Grassroots — clubs, coaching, youth programmes, training opportunities, community events, volunteer development, and inclusion and adaptive sport. Less visible than a championship, and where the long-term future of the sport is decided.
Beyond sponsorship
If your organisation has expertise, technology, facilities, services or ideas that could help develop the sport, we are more interested in that conversation than in a logo placement.
Some of the most useful things a partner can provide are not money.
How we choose
OCRA works with organisations whose activities and values are compatible with sport, athlete welfare and the long-term interests of the obstacle racing community.
A partnership should provide clear value to both sides without compromising sporting independence or integrity — and we will say no to arrangements that would.
