Profile: Bowral Classic, Winner of Coates Hire Best Community Event 2017

Last year's winner of the Coates Hire Best Community Event was the inaugural Bowral Classic, a recreational cycling event. They exceeded their attendee target by 300%, demonstrating astute connection with their community and target market, successfully leveraging the appeal of the region. The judges commended their "impressive metrics" and how they relayed their outcomes and evaluation data in a detailed and engaging way. Every Awards entrant receives judge feedback; it's an excellent opportunity for peer review.
