Coquina Beach 5K: Swag4Brands Community Partnership
Swag4Brands handles the complete swag lineup for the Coquina Beach 5K on Anna Maria Island — from technical tees and finisher medals to goody bags and sponsor recognition plaques.
The Challenge
A beachside fundraiser race has unique challenges: high humidity, sandy logistics, and a mixed crowd of serious runners and casual community members. The Coquina Beach 5K organizers needed event swag that would hold up to the Gulf-shore environment, delight participants, and give visiting-out-of-town runners something worth mailing home — all while keeping costs in line with the fundraising mission.
What We Delivered
Technical Tees Built for Beach Weather
Moisture-wicking performance tees designed for the Anna Maria Island humidity, in sizes from youth to adult 3XL, with vibrant event artwork that photographs well on the shoreline.
Goody Bag Program
Co-branded drawstring bags filled with sponsor-fill items — sunscreen samples, branded water bottles, snack bars, and race-day maps — so every sponsor logo got meaningful real estate.
Custom Finisher Medals
Beach-themed finisher medals with a custom ribbon — a keepsake that visiting runners take home and tourists post to social media with the #coquinabeach hashtag.
Sponsor-Recognition Plaques
Custom acrylic and engraved-wood sponsor recognition awards presented at the post-race ceremony — a key driver of sponsor renewal year over year.
