We've got some exciting news for you. We’re proudly sponsoring the Sydney Marathon for the next three years (2023, 2024, and 2025). Get ready to experience a greener, more electrifying marathon like never before!

‍

So, what's the buzz all about? Well, FONZ has some incredible plans in store for this year's Sydney Marathon. Firstly, we're providing an emission-free fleet of Arthur electric road-scooters for to escort the runners during the event. 

‍

But that's not all. Participants will have the opportunity to WIN one of two FONZ Arthur EVs, one for those who choose to raise funds for charity and a second to a lucky marathon finisher. Talk about great motivation to fundraise!

‍

One of the most significant aspects of FONZ's partnership with the Sydney Marathon is our mutual commitment to reducing the event's carbon footprint. Sustainability has become a crucial consideration for all events, and FONZ is stepping up to the plate to help make a difference. By providing emission-free transportation and promoting green initiatives, FONZ and the Sydney Marathon are setting a high standard for sustainability practices in the running community.

‍

Excitingly, the Sydney Marathon has been named as an Abbott World Marathon Majors Candidate Race, if successful, it will join an esteemed group of races, Tokyo Marathon, Boston Marathon, TCS London Marathon, BMW-Berlin Marathon, Bank of America Chicago Marathon and TCS New York City Marathon. 

‍

No city in the world has a better combination of natural beauty, love of sport and iconic infrastructure for hosting a marathon than Sydney! This prestigious recognition means that the event must meet the world's expectations around sustainability practices. FONZ couldn't be prouder to be a part of this journey, supporting the Sydney Marathon as it strives to become one of the world’s most iconic marathons. 

‍

"Raise $100 online via your Grassrootz fundraising page anytime tomorrow, 10 August and you’ll automatically enter the draw to WIN! You can also gain extra entries for every additional $100 raised Thanks to our amazing event sponsor, FONZ (the Australian electric motorbike maker formerly known as Fonzarelli), we have an Arthur 2 Electric Scooter valued at $5,790 to giveaway!"

Along with the Marathon, there will also be a 21.1 km, 10 km, and Family Run, giving all levels of participants a chance to partake. Last year, participants donated a staggering $1,207,772 for 187 charity partners - hopefully, they will exceed this incredible sum this year!

‍

Our very own Tim Arndt shared some insights about the Sydney Marathon partnership.

‍

“FONZ is all about embracing a healthy and active lifestyle, and their zero-emission rides perfectly align with their community's values. FONZ is thrilled to partner with brands that share their commitment to the environment, community, and innovation. The Sydney Marathon exemplifies these values, and FONZ couldn't be more excited to support the event during this exciting time of its evolution.”

‍

When asked about his favourite aspect of the Sydney Marathon, Tim said last year he and FONZ's CEO, Michelle Nazzari, had the incredible opportunity to guide the elite runners in the men's race day. “It was something I will never forget,” said Tim.
