Partners
The Diaspora Marathon is built with sponsors, media, embassies and the world's leading multilateral institutions — the AU, the EU and the United Nations.
Corporate partners, brands and philanthropic foundations powering the race, the festival and our community legacy programmes. From title sponsors to product partners, sponsorship places your brand at the heart of the world's most culturally diverse marathon.
Broadcast networks, newspapers, digital platforms, podcasts and creators telling the diaspora story across continents — bringing Pretoria 2027 into living rooms and timelines worldwide.
Pretoria's 130+ embassies and high commissions are co-creators of the route and the festival. Each embassy is invited to host a cultural pavilion and welcome runners passing their gates.
Aligned with the AU's Agenda 2063 and its recognition of the African diaspora as the sixth region of Africa, we partner with the AU to celebrate pan-African unity and global solidarity.
Through diplomatic missions and cultural institutes, the EU partnership channels European diasporas — and their long-standing ties with Africa — into the festival.
Partnering with UN agencies on the Sustainable Development Goals, migration, youth, sport for development and intercultural dialogue — the values at the core of the Diaspora Marathon.
Sponsorship decks, embassy participation packs and media accreditation are available on request. Write to info@diasporamarathon.com or call our office on 087 265 3038.
