The City of Portland announced that it has selected Brooksee as the new producer of the Portland Marathon. Brooksee LLC is a full-service event production firm that specializes in marathons, half marathons, and event management services. Including part-time employees and contractors, their team consists of roughly two dozen event professionals. Since their creation in 2012 they have owned and operated the REVEL Race Series, a series of world-renowned marathons and half marathons that take place in Mt Hood, Las Vegas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Tucson, Hawaii, and Southern California. In addition to executing their own races, they offer event management services such as timing, registration, emailing, web hosting, and photography to other producers in the industry. They are completely vertically-integrated in the sense that they perform many of the essential operations that their competitors outsource to other firms. Their vertical integration allows them to increase their spend dedicated to runner benefits, avoid unreliable and off-brand third-party services, and create a single harmonious runner experience that surpasses anything else available in the market.
