Why Host in Greater Zion?
Why have world-class sporting events like IRONMAN and Red Bull Rampage chosen Greater Zion again and again? Perhaps it’s that the rich red natural skyscrapers and deep blue skies leave a lasting impact long after the medals have been handed out. Perhaps it’s the spirit of the community, the welcoming volunteers who are excited to share their home with visitors and eager to make events succeed. Perhaps it’s the surge of energy that competitors feel from being surrounded by towering monoliths, brilliant blue skies, lush forests, and luminescent lakes and rivers. And perhaps it’s something different entirely.
Whether you’re hosting one of the most extreme endurance sports in the world, a softball or pickleball tournament, coaching convention, or horseshoe showdown, your attendees will leave with more than a story of the event. That’s because outside of our world-class courts, fields, pools, and golf courses is one of the most breathtaking arenas in the world: Greater Zion. And they’ll have a front-row seat the whole time.
Through the following services, our Greater Zion Convention & Tourism Office team seeks to land your event a showcase in this Land of Endurance.
