The Worrell 1000 Race is a monumental event to plan, create, put on and above all else - FUND. Without the generous support of our sponsors, we could not make it happen. Please consider coming onboard by being an Event Sponsor (we have several levels to accommodate individuals and businesses of all sizes), or a Social Event sponsor - Teams love a hot meal, cold beer, entertainment - even goodie bag items! I guarantee there is a way we can make YOU a part of the Worrell 1000 family! Please contact us today about becoming a 2024 sponsor! Email us at OA@worrell1000race.org

PEGGY ANTHONY - MAJOR SPONSOR FOR 2024!
The Worrell 1000 Organizing Authority, Race Committee and Volunteers are delighted to announce that Peggy Anthony, sister to Ron Anthony (Worrell competitor and winner in 1979) has generously agreed to once again, be a major sponsor for the 2024 event! It is because of Peggy's amazing support of this race that we are able to offer the Ron Anthony Memorial Perpetual Trophy for Course Record (unveiled in 2022) and allows us to continue to run this legendary race. Without sponsors like Peggy Anthony, we simply could NOT make it happen. Not only is Peggy a dedicated fan of the event, she offers her support in honor of Ron - taken from us far too soon in a tragic plane crash in 1983. She is a cherished partner to the event and to us all! THANK YOU PEGGY!!!!!!
