As part of a three-year agreement, Charleston has committed to improve the site of the event to better accommodate competitors and their equipment. “Charleston is a great little city with a friendly atmosphere and lots to do in the downtown area. The site improvements are going to make this event first class”; Brian O’Rourke of Team Faith from Nashville, TN stated.
The National Championship is the anchor to the city’s annual SportsFest which includes Beach Volleyball, Charleston 3 on 3 Basketball, Jiu-Jitsu Wrestling as well as tons of tasty local food.
Tim Brady, VP of Sales and Marketing of the Charleston, West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau commented; “We’re excited to continue this relationship for at least the next three years. Charleston and Pro Watercross have developed a strong partnership that I believe has benefited both the city and the tour. The event has grown every year and it’s become something that locals look forward to each August. As the tour stop has grown, so too has the entire SportsFest weekend here in Charleston. New events are added each year, but it’s the foundation laid by Pro Watercross that has really made it possible. With the added exposure of CBS Sports this event truly becomes a national showcase for Charleston, as well as the state of West Virginia.”
