Chamber Connect featuring St. George Tourism

This Wednesday's Chamber Connect will feature Kevin Lewis, Sports & Event Marketing for the St. George Tourism Office.  His remarks will include information on the 70.3 Ford Ironman St. George.
 
It’s time to get pumped up for the IRONMAN 70.3 North American Pro Championship. Kevin Lewis, director of Sports Marketing for the St. George Area Tourism Office will share the inside scoop on this year’s race and give insights to growing impact it has in our community.
 
Another great field of athletes are lining up for this year’s race. For the first time we’ll have both the reigning male and female IRONMAN World Champions participating.
 
St. George is a signature course on the IRONMAN circuit-taking athletes through the amazing scenery of the area including the swim at Sand Hollow State Park and a ride through Snow Canyon State Park. The event brings more than 2500 athletes to the area each May. It involves nearly 3000 volunteers from the community and requires extensive cooperation from city, county and state agencies. The race brings nearly $5 million in economic impact each year and the IRONMAN brand helps solidify this area as an active adventure destination.

Have you ever been beaten by the 18x World Horseshoe Champion?  Kevin Lewis has.  Been behind the scenes for the Ironman St. George Pro Championships?  That's Kevin too!  When he isn't reigning in world class sporting events, Kevin is editing and scripting beautiful footage for the St. George Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
