Getir, a specialist in ultrafast grocery delivery, has become a sponsor and an official partner of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, which is set to take place on April 3.
“We are very pleased to participate in the great challenge of the Paris Marathon which is one of the biggest and prestigious marathons in the world, as much for size of its field as the performance of its runners” said Alec Dent, General Manager of Getir France.
“At Getir, we embrace health, sports, nature and it is our great pleasure to support and stand by the side of sports and athletes, we will continue to respect and value them. As we believe in the power of sports, we aim to invest in sports organizations in other countries where Getir services are available.
“We are particularly happy to support city of Paris and one of Paris’s signature organizations, in line with our objective be a good citizen of this great city we serve
Julien Goupil, Media & Sponsorship Director for the event, said “We are delighted to welcome Getir to the family of sponsors of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris for the first time. Through this sponsorship, Getir will also conduct actions for the protection of the environment along with us and our other sponsors.
“Getir will also be contributing to the festive aspect, which is essential in marathon events, by offering the large audience of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris entertainment during the Run Experience and the race. We welcome Getir to the marathon.”
As part of the partnership, Getir will make available on its app a list of products for athletes – in order to prepare all participants before the run (feed bar, oatmeal cereal quaker oats and etc.).
From March 31 to April 2, Getir will invite runners to its booth at the Run Experience area when they pick up their race number. They will be able to discover Getir’s delivery service and live experiences (photobooth, virtual reality).
At Run Experience, Getir will also organize a contest with runners experiencing the photobooth to allow 30 of them (through a draw) to win post-race products, delivered right after the finish line.
Approximately 30 Getir employees from several European countries, including riders and pickers from its gstores in France, will be running the marathon. In order to make a positive contribution to local communities and act as a custodian for the environment, Getir will also organize a team who will support the organizers to clean the streets of Paris right after the event.
