Business Promotional Opportunities

Opportunities for Businesses: We encourage you to open your storefronts during the event to take advantage of the lively atmosphere and the hundreds of runners, walkers, and spectators who will be downtown.

We are putting together a Runner Discount Card to help drive traffic directly into your businesses!
If you would like to participate, simply submit a special offer or discount for runners — along with your business logo — by Monday, April 22nd at 3:00 PM.

This is a great way to introduce new customers to your shop, restaurant, or service and to show the runners and their families just how special Hendersonville is.

To submit your offer or ask questions, please contact us at iDaph Events: (828) 684-0812, support@idaph.net  [More info about the event HERE.]

This came to light as a serious need last week. This is for anyone but will include updates on street closures AND if there are ever emergency updates that need to get to downtown people quickly. UPDATE INFORMATION HERE
