Getting reviews on your events
Reviews are a great way for people to learn more about your event and help generate more bookings. The best way to get more reviews on your event is to get in touch with participants just after the race. They should be full of the race day high and ready to say lot's of good things. Direct them to the event page on findarace and their review will be visible on all future versions of the race.
