Miles for Manufacturing 5K Run/Walk Sponsorship Program
The Miles for Manufacturing (M4M) 5K Run/Walk debuted at IMTS 2014, born from a group of runners looking to stay active during the tradeshow and support a worthy cause. Since then, M4M has expanded across the country, raising over $240,000 for schools and programs that inspire careers in manufacturing and design.
Thanks to the generous support of IMTS, which covers all production costs—like shirts, timing gear, permits, and banners—100% of the funds from sponsorships and runner registration go directly back into the educational community.
M4M sponsorships boost your brand’s visibility AND support the future of our industry. A win-win!
As a sponsor, your brand will be:
- Featured on race shirts and participant packets
- Highlighted in M4M promotions leading up to the race
- Showcased on the M4M section of the MFG Meeting website
- Promoted through print and electronic ads with media partners
- Shared through M4M social media campaigns
Support manufacturing education and raise your brand’s profile—become a 2025 Miles for Manufacturing sponsor! Contact Cat Ross at cross@amtonline.org.
