PaceUp will also support growth across the wider, growing portfolio of events which includes Dirty Reiver, Frontier 300 and JUST.GRAVEL.

“We’ve worked with Bryan and Neil at Focal Events through a number of client partners who sponsor events in their portfolio, and have seen first-hand how great their events are,” explained PaceUp Director, Tom Copeland. “We got together and identified a growth marketing strategy to develop the brand and event portfolio, something we’re excited to build upon.”
Co-Director Neil Atkinson added: “We’ve been discussing ideas for some time with PaceUp to get creative about various ways of marketing our events and have long discussed taking this support to the next level. The team’s experience and understanding of the industry and events will be a great addition to our output as we continue to develop our events and the wider Focal Events brand.”

Entries for Gravel Rocks open on 1st November with the hugely popular Dirty Reiver also opening entries on 1st December. Entries for Frontier 300 are already open. Find out more about Focal Events here.
