SPAR has been unveiled as the sponsor of RTE’s coverage of the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Appeldoorn.
The retailer has also partnered with Irish Olympian, European Athletics Championship gold medallist and 400m star Sharlene Mawdsley to promote their ongoing commitment to Irish athletics ahead of the Championships taking place next month.
SPAR has sponsored the European Athletics Championships since 1996, supported over 80 competitions over those 29 years and demonstrated a major commitment to facilitating healthy lifestyles through sport.
To celebrate its ongoing commitment to support for Irish athletes, SPAR is running a competition to win a VIP trip for two to the 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn. Together with Sharlene they are challenging Irish fans to “get moving” by going for a run themselves.
To enter people simply have to go for a run or jog of any distance, take a screenshot on the running app of theirchoice and post it to Instagram using #TeamSPAR.
The winner will be randomly selected from all entries on 28th February and, along with a friend, will be jetting off to Apeldoorn on a VIP 4-day trip courtesy of SPAR.
“It is always a great honour to represent Ireland on an international stage, the support the team gets from our fans is incredible, said Mawdsley.
“I’m delighted to have this opportunity to partner with SPAR on their campaign and encourage everyone to get more active while also celebrating Irish fans’ amazing commitment to supporting Irish athletes.”
“SPAR has a long-standing tradition of supporting athletics both here in Ireland and internationally,” added Sales Director Colin Donnelly.
“We are proud to partner with Sharlene Mawdsley to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. This campaign is all about celebrating the dedication of Irish athletes and their incredible supporters and we can’t wait to see the Irish public lace up their running shoes and get involved for a chance to win this unforgettable experience.”
