“…A six-factor model was then advanced: administrative consideration, common interest, equity in administrative decisions, leadership opportunities, social spaces and competition; while Warner et al (2013) called for further testing and refinement of this framework across a variety of sport settings. The framework has been applied to different contexts, such as small-scale events (e.g., Kerwin, Warner, Walker, & Stevens, 2015) and to different stakeholders, such as parents in youth sport (e.g., Warner, Dixon, & Leierer, 2015). Based upon Warner et al's (2013) call for further testing, along with the relevance of each factor to events, the current research applies this framework to charity sport events.…”

Charity sport events not only involve completing the activity, but also the opportunity to bring people together. A variety of research has examined charity sport events' capacity to foster a sense of community from the participant point of view. The current research examines sense of community within charity sport events from the event management perspective and advances the following research question: What do charity sport event managers feel they have put in place to create sense of community among participants? To address this research question, qualitative data were collected via interviews with 15 charity sport event managers in Japan. An interview guide comprised of six demographic questions, along with nine questions based upon the sense of community in sport framework was utilized. Five themes were identified within the interviews: charitable contribution, soliciting feedback from participants, interactive event environment, supplementary activities, and lack of competition. Two themes from the sense of community in sport framework that did not emerge across the interviews underscore opportunity for event managers to leverage mobile applications and online discussion forums to engage participant's shared interest in sport, as well as enlist leaders among event participants to serve as advocates. Based on the current results, future research can include managers from the designated charities aligned with events to assess whether the sense of community created within these events leads to long-term benefits for the organization.

“…Para além de outros aspectos, o público possivelmente recomendaria o evento pela forma como foram atendidos. Investigações de (Gillespie & McDonald, 2015, p. 235); Kerwin, Warner, Walker, and Stevens (2015) e Oliveira and Costa (2016) demonstram que os voluntários são o ponto estruturante para o caminhar de um excelente evento e os primeiros a terem contato com participantes e espectadores. Neste sentido, devem ter formação para se relacionarem com os intervenientes auxiliando-os ao máximo e com entusiasmo na execução das diversas atividades.…”

O estudo pretende ser um contributo para os gestores de eventos esportivos, a partir das perspectivas dos participantes no evento XTerra Camp Paraná que decorreu fora dos grandes centros urbanos brasileiros. Trata-se de um estudo de natureza quantitativa descritiva, no qual se utilizou um questionário, revisado por professores universitários e gestores. Os principais resultados evidenciam (i) um perfil de participantes de maioria de sexo masculino e não residentes; (ii) valores de gastos entre 100 a 500 reais; e (iii) elevada satisfação com o percurso, organização do evento e região. Conclui-se que, na ótica dos participantes, o evento globalmente lhes agradou por ter tido uma organização eficiente e por terem vivenciado experiências na região ao nível turístico.
