A community asset
Does your event bring value to your community?
The Dare County NC Tourism Bureau awarded a grant to fund events, including the Outer Banks Marathon, because it believes that will attract tourists to the area.
Think about how your event can attract folks who will do more than just drive in, run the race, and go home.
If your event has a positive economic impact on the community (a real one, not just marketing hype), there is a greater likelihood that government and businesses will provide you with useful resources.
