2 0 1 7 The Bass Pro Shops Fitness Series is a collection of non-profit events sponsored by Bass Pro Shops and our dedicated community volunteers and partners. Proceeds from these events are shared by Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks, the Ozark Greenways, and our community charities. Our mission is to celebrate health and wellness, outdoor adventures and wildlife conservation in the beauty of the Ozarks. Our programs are designed to include activities for people of all ages, backgrounds, fitness levels and areas of interest. 2016 GENERAL DEMOGRAPHICS: Overall Participation across all events in 2016 ..........28,000 States Represented* ....................................................................45 Strongest State Representation-Missouri† ........................82% Percentage of Women across events ................................61% FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT: Ashlee Rightnowar ADRightnowar2@basspro.com p: 417-873-5214 *Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska all had strong showings †Most participants live within 150 miles of Springfield. Melissa Bondy [email protected] p: 417-873-5354 Our two day expo typically features up to 50 vendors. While the expo is specifically for our runners, we invite the community to participate. We usually attract around 8500 attendees; this includes approximately 3500 runners. Our goal is to ensure strong vendor outcomes so we limit the number of vendors selling like-products. We provide coffee and basic breakfast items as well as lunch on Saturday for all vendors.
