Amgen Bike Race in Thousand Oaks
I was reading an uplifting article in the VCStar about the success of the World Class Amgen Bike Race. The final stage started at the Thousand Oaks Mall which was flooded by excited spectactors cheering on cyclist from around the world. The article reported the event attracted over 100,000 spectactors; selling-out hotels and bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars to Thousand Oaks and Conejo Valley businesses. Suffice it to say, local business were excited and residents were proud to host such a fantastic event.
With this cycling event being such a boost to the Conejo Valley community, I started thinking about other races which might bring in athletes from afar. How about a world class marathon? I did a quick Google search and only found a half marathon from Santa to the Sea in Oxnard? Ventura County has so many beautiful scenic routes and perfect weather we should have an annual marathon hosted here. I know Santa Barbara, Huntington Beach, and Los Angeles host huge marathons. I wonder what kind of corporate backing a marathon would need in order to kick off into a successfull event? Perhaps A & E Property Management should kickstart this event!
