Advertising on New Zealand Running Calendar

There are 6 300x250px advertising slots on the New Zealand Running Calendar website in the right column, which appear on all pages on this website.

Current Pricing

Each ad slot is NZ$225 + GST per month.
This will increase to NZ$250 + GST per month from January 1st 2014.

Payment is required up front at least 30 days before the ad is due to start. If the ad is booked less than 30 days in advance then payment is required immediately to secure the booking.

Ads get approximately 75,000 impressions per month with an average click-through rate of 0.4%. Note that trail running events tend to get a higher click through rate than road running events.

The minimum purchase is 1 month, but part-months after that are acceptable, e.g. 6 weeks in total.

Ads are displayed in random order, i.e. you cannot pay more to always appear at the top.

Ad space availability

We have two ad spaces becoming available on the following dates:
- 01 October 2013
- 15 January 2014

All other spaces are booked out until the end of 2013. We also have long term / ongoing advertisers in 4 ad spaces; we will confirm later in the year if they will continue to utilise these in 2014.

If you wish to advertise your event in 2014 please email chris@runningcalendar.co.nz as soon as possible to lock in advertising dates.
