Corrigan Sports Enterprises announced today a new partnership with the Bermuda International Race Weekend & Bermuda Tourism. CSE will work to promote the Bermuda Marathon in the United States.

A key factor in the Bermuda Tourism's decision to enter into the partnership is that CSE, the owner and operator of the Under Armour Baltimore Running Festival, has direct access to the running community in Mid-Atlantic region, the country's third largest Metropolitan area in terms of number of runners, according to a 2005 study by the United States Track & Field Association.

"We are pleased to help with the Bermuda Marathon. With the very reasonable rates on airfare from Maryland to Bermuda it was a natural. Bermuda is also one of the most beautiful places on earth so it would only make sense for this event to become a destination type event," said Lee Corrigan, CSE President. "It is our hope that runners will participate in Bermuda during the winter and run in Baltimore in the fall."

Due to its central location, Baltimore is major gateway between the U.S. and Bermuda and, presently, the best airfare rates to Bermuda can be found leaving from Marshall Baltimore Washington International Airport. This fact further enhances the partnership. "International Race Weekend is very happy to be partnering with Corrigan Sports Enterprises on this initiative," stated Anthony Raynor, Chairman of the International Race Weekend. "We look forward to hosting runners from the Baltimore area here in Bermuda, January 12-14. Corrigan Sports Enterprises has a proven track record and we can only stand to benefit from its history."

Corrigan Sports Enterprises is a leader in sports promotions in the Baltimore/Washington, DC region. Founded in 1991, CSE owns and operates the following events: Under Armour Baltimore Marathon, The Charm City Challenge, The Capital Classic All-Star Basketball Game, the Toyota Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, the Thrash & Jam Pro Skate Tour presented by Slammers Ultimate Milk, The Under Armour All- America Lacrosse Classic and the annual Baltimore BikeJam Pro Cycling event.
