Do
you want to raise the media profile of your race nationally and
internationally with the help of an international team of journalists?
Race News Service offers international race organisers a
high quality, professional service, provided by experienced media
specialists with many years of experience in the sport of running.
Up-to-the-minute
press releases are written in the build-up to the event as
well as on and around
race day in English and then distributed via specialist news outlets.
These news outlets are updated and athletics correspondents and other
journalists
with a particular interest in running and track and field athletics are
kept
informed. It is also possible to send these press releases with
accompanying
photographs.
Photography:
Here
is your chance to use one of the leading specialists in running
photography in the world. Pictures of your race will appear online in
the international media and you can also use the photos as publicity
for your event the following year in your event guide or on your
website or posters.
Radio reports
in English,
including those for BBC World Service and Voice of America (VOA), can
also be provided. It is important for us to have information about your
race in advance so we can work out the possibilities and extent of
coverage we can offer. Please get in touch to discuss this further.
Provision of
television pictures
to international broadcasters, in particular in the English-speaking
world. If your race is covered on television, a highlights package can
be distributed internationally. Here again it's important for us to
have information about your race beforehand to assess the potential for
coverage. Please get in touch to discuss this further.
Press office
facility: On race weekend we can complement your own press
office team according
to requirements. If needed, pen portraits and biographies of leading
athletes as well as statistics – for your press packs or
programme guide – can be made available.
Elite Athlete
Service: A well selected field of elite athletes will
ensure the best possible results which, in turn, increase media
interest. In
this respect we work with an experienced and successful partner to help
bring
this about.
With the help
of Race News
Service you can raise the media profile of your event and present your
title sponsor even better. Crediting the name of sponsors combined with
the event title is especially effective in the international sphere.
