Ijen Trail Running is an annual trail running event held since 2015 in the Ijen Volcano area of Bondowoso, Indonesia. The races are known for their dramatic volcanic backdrop, with routes that pass through the famed Blue Fire trails where burning sulfur gases ignite on contact with the cool night air. Four trail distances are offered, giving room for both first-time entrants and experienced mountain runners. The event has grown steadily since its first edition, and it now serves as a focal point for the local running community and the wider international trail running scene.

Partners and businesses are welcome to join the event and support the growth of trail running in the region. Sponsorship plays an important role in keeping the course marked, the timing systems accurate, the medical teams on the mountain, and the participant experience safe and well organised. Because the race crosses remote volcanic terrain, reliable logistics and volunteer support are essential, and those elements depend on outside backing. Businesses that align with outdoor sport, travel, health, or community development often find a natural fit with the spirit of the event.

Partnership opportunities are available for sponsors who want to be part of Ijen Trail Running. Collaborations can take many shapes, from supporting a specific distance category to backing the overall event identity, or from providing in-race provisions to contributing to community running programmes. Each edition of Ijen Trail Running offers a distinct setting and a distinct challenge, so a partner's presence can be tied closely to the character of the terrain itself. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to the sponsorship team to discuss what a meaningful collaboration could look like for their organisation.

The volcanic landscape that frames every Ijen Trail Running edition is the true signature of the event. Night runs along the crater rim, with the glow of the Blue Fire visible in the distance, create an atmosphere that few races in the world can match. Beyond the competition, the event builds connections between runners, local guides, and the surrounding communities in Bondowoso, and it encourages visitors to experience a landscape of unusual beauty and intensity. Supporting Ijen Trail Running means helping that combination of sport, scenery, and community continue to flourish in the years ahead.
