PROJECT MANAGEMENT ON THE EXAMPLE OF MARATHONS AND TRIATHLON EVENTS
Abstract
The analysis of the world of sports may show the growing importance of amateur participation. However, some sports events (marathons and triathlon events) possibly should be seen as at least semiprofessional due to their difficulty and the necessity for intense trainings. In the last several years the number of running and triathlon events has been dynamically increasing. The popularity cannot be understood as a mere fad as the effort required within preparations for such contests is extraordinary. Such participation entails a new life style and amounts to a sign of a major change of people’s habits. The article deals with two closely interrelated topics – the quality of sports events and participant satisfaction. The article shows the principles of project management (including sports events) and presents the research conducted in a focus group whose aim was to define the key factors for a successful sports event (a long-distance run, a triathlon contest).
