Shayaan Calcuttawala
I am Shayaan Calcuttawala, a driven young individual undertaking the challenge of running all seven World Marathon Majors, offering sponsors a unique opportunity to align with a story of ambition, resilience, and global achievement. By supporting me, you’re not just backing a runner, you’re empowering a dream and showcasing your brand as a catalyst for personal triumph. I will proudly represent your products across international stages, integrating them into my journey through social media, race-day visibility, and lifestyle content. From branded gear to ambassador-style storytelling, I become a living, moving model of your support, turning every mile into a marketing moment.
Target Audience
My journey appeals to a broad but targeted demographic: active, socially engaged individuals aged 18–35, with a strong interest in fitness, travel, personal development, and social impact. The majority of my followers fall within the ABC1 demographic, educated, aspirational, and digitally connected. They engage with content that blends athletic achievement, global adventure, and charitable causes. Many are runners, gym-goers, and lifestyle enthusiasts who value brands that support ambition, authenticity, and purpose. My audience is highly responsive to motivational storytelling, product integration, and behind-the-scenes content that showcases both performance and personality.
Key Dates and Timings
I’m seeking sponsorship beginning in mid-2026 to support my participation in three of the World Marathon Majors: Sydney Marathon on August 30, Berlin Marathon on September 27, and Chicago Marathon on October 11. Each race will be run in support of a different charity, amplifying both social impact and brand visibility. The remaining four majors—Tokyo, Boston, London, and New York—are planned for 2027, completing the full global circuit. This sponsorship offers a unique long-term partnership opportunity, with flexible duration based on your brand’s goals. Ideally, support would span the full campaign through 2027, allowing your brand to be part of a powerful narrative of perseverance, philanthropy, and international achievement. Together, we can craft a story that resonates across continents and communities.
Specific Opportunity Details
I am currently preparing to run all seven World Marathon Majors, Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York, and the newly added Sydney, representing a global journey across iconic cities and elite athletic stages. This campaign offers sponsors visibility across international audiences and high-profile events. My social media presence includes over 10,0000 followers across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, with consistent growth driven by training updates, race-day content, and motivational storytelling. I offer branded content opportunities, gear integration, and ambassador-style promotion tailored to your brand’s values. By partnering with me, you’ll be supporting a young athlete’s dream while gaining authentic exposure, emotional connection with audiences, and a compelling narrative that aligns your brand with ambition, perseverance, and global reach.
Features and Benefits
As a sponsor of my World Marathon Majors campaign, your brand will gain global exposure and authentic engagement through a powerful personal journey.

You’ll also receive co-branded storytelling, digital promotion tied to charitable causes, and long-term visibility as I complete all seven majors through 2027. This is a unique opportunity to connect your brand with ambition, resilience, and social impact.
Investment
I’m seeking a cash investment of £5,000 to support my participation in the 2026 Sydney, Berlin, and Chicago Marathons. This funding will directly cover travel, accommodation, race entry fees, and essential equipment such as training gear and nutrition. In return, your brand will receive global visibility across three iconic events, integrated product promotion, and ongoing social media exposure. This is a chance to visibly support a young athlete’s journey while aligning your brand with ambition, resilience, and charitable impact.
