Back in September Steve DelMonte, owner and founder of DelMoSports http://delmosports.com/ put on the second Ironman 70.3 Triathlon in Atlantic City. And, I would add with GREAT success. It was a sell-out of 2,700 athletes and was voted the #1 large Triathlon in the United States. And, guess what? The backdrop of this event was — ATLANTIC CITY!!!
Spend any time with Steve DelMonte and you will quickly feel his passion and enthusiasm he has for Atlantic City as a great venue for these types of events. Beautiful Ocean and Boardwalk, biking through the Pinelands of New Jersey in a MAJOR resort town. While the athletes love the course their families and friends enjoy the city just as much. I have said it before that Atlantic City can do events and these sport related tourism activities are well within our wheelhouse. Think about it – Ironman – the number one brand of Triathlons chose AC to be an ambassador for its brand. Pretty good company.
They are coming back again – join DelMoSports for IRONMAN 70.3 next year September 23, 2018.
We need to keep focused on this type of tourism and expand and grow it. Fun –runs – Marathons – Ocean Swims – Volleyball – Soccer – Rugby- Lacrosse – Wrestling – Cheerleading – Basketball and the list goes on and on.
Start working out and hope to see you next year at the IRONMAN.
Keep Moving (running, biking and swimming) Forward.
My best.
Ken
