San Diego County Interactive Road Rally Experience

Sponsorship Range: $1,500 – $25,000

​

WHY SPONSOR THIS EVENT MATTERS

​

City-to-Summit is more than a road rally—it is a county-wide interactive experience that connects coastal San Diego to the mountain communities of Santa Ysabel through a 75-mile journey of adventure, discovery, and charitable impact.

Unlike traditional event sponsorships that rely on static signage, City-to-Summit places sponsors directly inside the experience itself—on vehicles, at checkpoints, in challenges, at dealerships, and at the final summit celebration.

Sponsors are not observers. They become part of the journey.

​

This event brings together thousands of participants across multiple weekends, creating repeated exposure, meaningful engagement, and high-impact visibility across San Diego County while supporting local charities through the “Every Mile Matters” campaign.
