Valentine's Day 5k press release
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 9:55 am
Feel free to share this press release. I sent this in a PDF with the Grand Prix logo to Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Arkansas Times, Sync Weekly, KARK, KATV, Today's THV, Fox 16, and the local Russellville newspaper, The Courier. I plan to write similar press releases announcing each race and to include the state-wide media as well as local newspapers. Please let me know of any other outlets that I should include in my list.
The purpose of these press releases is to invite media to our races and hopefully get some coverage of what I consider to be an amazing community in the state. By the way, if there is any of you have experience with writing press releases and can do a better job than me, please chime in; I'm just feeling my way through this.
