Natural Venues Guide Convention Centers Guide Resource Guide
Each year, hundreds of outdoor sports events take place in natural venues that include lakes, rivers, oceans, mountains and trails. We've compiled a snapshot of some of the sports events that are suited to these types of natural venues and some sports-friendly destinations with a history of hosting such events. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive, but should serve as a resource guide to assist organizers in planning future events. This resource guide is available online along with the adver- tisers you see within this special section discussing their own natural venues in great detail. Log on to www.sportseventsmagazine.com to access this special online edition.
