GULF SHORES, AL — SportsEvents Media Group, the leading industry publication focused exclusively on helping sports event planners produce excellent competitions in the United States, has announced that the Valley Forge Revolutionary 5 Mile Run has been recognized as a Sports Event to Watch in 2017.
Winners were honored in the January 2017 issue of SportsEvents Magazine.
Sports event professionals were asked to nominate sports events that they believe made a memorable impression and earned the right to be a Sports Event to Watch in 2017. Nominations were received from readers throughout the year, and the top picks were selected based on results from an online voting system.
This is the ninth year that SportsEvents Magazine has honored events.
“With thousands of sporting events across the nation each year, it takes something special to stand out,” said John Rezell, SportsEvents executive editor. “These events have shown they deserve to be honored for setting a high standard.”
