small race, but the SSF / Lake George Triathlon in Maine
I think one way to have the race embraced by the community is to have it raise money for something people care about in the community. Ours is in a small town, and that helps with the community environment because you know the people running it, most of the other athletes, etc.
Also, get local businesses involved. We highlight our bakery, brewery, portable brick oven pizza thing, ice cream stand, and many other businesses by having tables in the post race party area.
Get local groups to staff the aid stations - creates community w/ Girl Scouts, etc
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
