A Platform for International Sports Tourism
Almaty Marathon 2027 is more than an international marathon. It is a cultural event tourism product. It provides for the marathon’s international participants, their support, and sports tourism groups the opportunity to spend extended time within the event and the adjacent urban and natural environments. For destination management organisations, the event creates an opportunity to realise positive destination Australia outcomes through and in support of the event.
Since the elevation profile of the marathon has been optimized to include significant urban and natural features, the marathon's route should emphasize participant experience in addition to providing potential marketing imagery for the marathon to sponsors and partners promoting the route internationally. This will make the marathon attractive to sponsors and partners who are interested in long-term brand placements as opposed to ephemeral marketing routes.
