CTIB GRANT APPLICATION FORM
Describe your program or event:
The Carlsbad 5000 is an annual 2-day running event in the Spring that brings over
10,000 runners and spectators to Carlsbad Village. An iconic event not only in San
Diego or California but in the international running world of running. Known as the
"World's Fastest 5K", the annual road race attracts runners of all ages and abilities,
including the fastest professional runners in the world competing in the Elite Invitational.
It's not just a moniker -the Carlsbad 5000 has set 17 World Records and 8 U.S. records
for the 5K road distance since its inception in 1986. Saturday, April 1st, is the annual
Health & Fitness Expo in Carlsbad Village. Runners/friends & family pick up their race
items and engage with the 40+ endemic and non-endemic brands activating on-site. On
the main stage, we have a 6-hour run-of-show consisting of various fitness classes,
yoga sessions, running seminars, and Q&A's with keynote speakers, including our
ambassador, Olympian Meb Keflezighi. On Sunday, April 2nd, over 7,000 runners
compete in various categories based on age and ability, all culminating with the Elite
Invitationals, where we expect over 3,000 spectators to line the course for a chance to
witness a world record-setting race. Throughout the day, runners, spectators, and
friends & family enjoy the famous Party by the Sea in Carlsbad Village. Including a live
band and the Pizza Port Beer Garden.
Describe how the program/event will benefit tourism in Carlsbad:
The Carlsbad 5000 holds an iconic prestige in the running world, which draws a large
destination crowd. We want to take advantage of this legacy and create an
all-encompassing destination weekend for our audience beyond the excitement of race
day. Our plan is to create a destination program with a goal of increased travel and hotel
nights booked in the City of Carlsbad. We will partner once again with Visit Carlsbad
and all the local properties to develop compelling offers, feature hotels, and increase
our out-of-market participants along with an increased number of friends and family. In
2022, per our report, we drew in over 1,000 estimated hotel nights booked on behalf of
our 2-day event. 27% of our runner base came from outside San Diego County, and our
registrant data recorded that runners from 33 states and 15 countries traveled to
Carlsbad to participate in the Carlsbad 5000 in 2022.
Describe the estimated media coverage of the event:
In 2022, we had an estimated 77 Million media impressions. Please refer to the full
recap of 2022 PR & Media in the deck I've included. We are hoping to increase these
numbers with the help of this grant for 2023 and future use. Our goal is to attain 100
Million media impressions over the course of the 2023 event cycle.
DocuSign Envelope ID: C78955BA-DCB3-4B8D-A 18E-F4C06D8CE6AA
Describe the program/event history, compliance, success, etc:
The Carlsbad 5000 has been a Spring staple in the Carlsbad community for 37 years.
We have set 17 world records at the 5K road distance, earning our tagline and
trademark; the World's Fastest 5K. We work closely year-round and cherish our
relationships with the City, Police Department, and community of Carlsbad along with
organizations such as Visit Carlsbad, Carlsbad Village Association, and the Village
Faire. It is a legacy event honored by the global running community and in 2022, we
saw an incredible attendance rate and immensely positive response after our return
from a 2-year hiatus due to Covid-19. In 2022, our event sold out with an attendance of
7,000 runners and 3,000+ spectators.
Describe other funding sources and levels including committed funds and
potential matching funds:
Our LLC, Groundwork Endurance, spends $50,000 in yearly marketing and advertising
efforts. Our race is a for-profit entity that relies on participant registration and
sponsorship money to meet our yearly budget goals. In 2022, with a limited budget and
conservative planning, we were able to hit our registration sell-out number and gauge
the increased demand for our event post-pandemic. In 2023, we are looking to expand
in terms of marketing efforts to bring in a larger out-of-market contingency to the City of
Carlsbad for our 2-day running event.
Describe how CBTID grant funds would be used:
The CTBID grant funds will be used in marketing efforts to bring in runners along with
friends and family from outside of San Diego County to the City of Carlsbad utilizing
specifically targeted hotel accommodations and tourist attractions in the City of
Carlsbad in partnership with our 2-day running event. We want to create high-level
video content with an emphasis on Carlsbad sights and attractions beyond the Carlsbad
5000, and with specific Carlsbad and Visit Carlsbad branding and ad placement within
campaigns. Following the race in 2022, our video production broadcast of the event was
extremely well-received in the global running community. Our 17-minute video of the
Men's and Women's Elite Invitational now has 110K views on YouTube. The video
highlights the City of Carlsbad throughout the broadcast by use of drone footage and
Carlsbad-specific commentary by world-renowned running commentators, Tony Reavis
and Meb Keflezighi. We want to expand on this success by creating shorter video
content to attract runners from all over the us to visit Carlsbad and not only run the
Carlsbad 5000, but also spectate one of the legendary elite races in the world. In
addition to this video content-specific campaign highlighting travel and hotels in
Carlsbad in partnership with Carlsbad 5000, grant funds will be used in specific
methods as documented below:

2022 Carlsbad 5000 D.istribution of Funds and Grant Reporting
Carlsbad 5000 is requesting reimbursement from the Carlsbad Tourism Business Improvement District for
$5,225 as part of the 2022 CTBID Grant Program. The sum of $5,225 was used by Carlsbad 5000 to fund
advertising campaigns in markets outsid.e of San Diego County to bring in participants to stay in hotels in
Carlsbad and to support the local economy of Carlsbad, specifically around Carlsbad Village, near the
event site.
The 2022 Carlsbad 5000 had 7,000 total registrants, 27.4% of which came in from outside of San Diego
County. Our post-race survey results show that 898 runners stayed in a hotel in Carlsbad for an average
of 1.5 nights totaling an estimated 1,347 hotel nights booked in the city of Carlsbad. Our registrant data
recorded that runners from 33 states and 15 countries came to visit Carlsbad to run the 2022 Carlsbad
5000.
These results were made possible via our own marketing efforts including a partnership with Visit
Carlsbad, where we dedicated _a page in the navigation bar on our website to promote Visit Carlsbad,
Carlsbad Village, and the surrounding hotels and resorts in the area. Click here to yjew the webpage.
We also promoted Visit Carlsbad through social media, in-person expo promotions, grassroots initiatives,
and we sent out two dedicated marketing emails to a database of 18,000+ runners promoting Visit
Carlsbad and highlighting hotels to choose from i� Carlsbad. The messaging was to spend a long
weekend in Carlsbad centered around our race.
One of the key components of extending visits over race weekend was our decision to put on the packet
pickup/race expo on Saturday, May 21. We had a very impressive number of 4,178 runners come into
town to pick up their bib/race packet on Saturday bringing our total estimated foot traffic within Carlsbad
Village to 5,000 on Saturday, May 21, and 9,000 on Sunday, May 22 for the race day.
Below is documented use and application of the money used in out-of-market advertising as part of the
2022 CTBID Grant from the City of Carlsbad.
Campaign Description Cost Payment Complete by Carlsbad 5000?

Hey Matt-

tma9eCXll POA
Great speaking with you today.
So here is our overall operating budget for the 2023 Carlsbad 5000.
Exhibit 1 -Attachment B
Then we have different breakdown areas for Advertising ($50,000), PR ($4,000), Marketing ($20,000), Video &
Photography ($7,500) that adds up to $81,500 in what we would define as total Marketing budget.
The operating budget is $256,690.00 and then we have a management fee on top of this for $37,500.00 to the Contract Team Easy Day Sports. Thus, the total cost in 2023 this year is budgeted at $294,190.00 NET.
Hope this helps explain and show the total cost to run and operate Carlsbad 5000 each year.
Thanks again for your consideration on the Grant. Best, John
