WUU2K SPONSOR/SUPPORTER PROFILES

For 2022 I was wanting to profile some of the sponsors and supporters of the WUU2K event. Having backing and support in events is a huge help and really makes a difference in keeping the WUU extra special.

WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL (WCC)

The WCC are supporting the WUU2K until 2023 with some funding to help support the event. They have been extra supportive of the WUU2K, and have helped every year since inception with advice, updates, and also coming along on the day to check in to make sure it's all running smoothly. Thank you WCC for all of your help, and we look forward to your support in the future WUU events!

TAILWIND/ZEROTWENTY2
HELPING WUU RUNNERS GET TO THE FINISH LINE, WHILE LOOKING FUNKY

Mark Drew has been supporting the WUU/WAI events since inception and has always provided the events with not only solid product but his fun, energetic and colourful attitude. Plus the WUU was his first ever trail marathon, so that's saying something! He supplies us with Tailwind for the runners, and now brings with him his new brand - ZeroTwenty2 which hosts a plethora of everything a trail runner could need.
Tailwind is a complete nutrition source for running short to longer events, and I personally use it for all of my longer runs.
