Mission
Passion is Everything on the Road to Celebration
An athletic company uses the phrase “Impossible is nothing”. I see it on hats, t-shirts, etc. I never really understood that phrase but there was something about its simplicity and the message that I liked. When I think about life, events, partners and our focus, a new phrase emerged, “PASSION IS EVERYTHING”. If you are not passionate about it, it is not worth doing. We are incredibly passionate about our events, our participants, our charities, our partners and it shows. Our Signature Event Series™ has experienced amazing growth and community involvement. The Capital City Half and Quarter Marathon™ has grown over 264% since its inception in 2004. The Arizona Distance Classic Half and Quarter Marathon™ grew another 30% this year. With the addition of the The Emerald City Half and Quarter Marathon™ we have added another huge Celebration to our series. The M3S Celebration Tour™ now touches close to 20,000 participants on an annual basis.
Producing the best road races (and some would say best Celebrations) on the planet takes rock solid operations, customer service expertise, sponsorship activation skill but most of all Passion.
Passion for our participants is our number one priority. Customer service is our passion. Our customer service is based on a simple thought, “The answer is yes, now what is the question.”
Our corporate and community partners are extremely valuable to us and necessary to produce world class celebrations of the active healthy lifestyle. We will not enter into an agreement with any partner that is not passionate about what they do, their customers and the community. The partners we work with are “best of breed”. Ohio Health, VSX Sport, Diamond Cellar, Michelob Ultra, Yellowtail, Byer's Imports, Patron and Fleet Feet Sports are a few of the examples.
Since we started the company in 2002, we have always managed the enterprise with passion. If you are passionate about your life, your fitness and your sports, come join us. Let us Celebrate YOU like a Champion.
