Big Experiences…
Big Impact.
Since 2008, Pink Gorilla Events has been creating BIG experiences for runners across Nebraska. Our events bring thousands of active, engaged, experience-driven people together each year.
We believe the experience starts long before the starting line and continues well beyond the finish. Every touch point is thoughtfully created to give runners an experience they look forward to, talk about, and come back for year after year.
We partner with businesses and brands to become part of that experience—connecting with active, engaged people throughout the event cycle in ways that feel natural and valuable. We believe the best sponsorships are true partnerships, where we work to create something big together. If you’re interested in exploring what we could create together, we’d love to connect.
