Downing Events was founded in 1993 and operates on two main principles - To produce and manage the most successful and safe events in the country and to involve ourselves with a few select non-profit organizations and create cause-related athletic events to raise funds to benefit those in need. To achieve these ends, we have assembled the most talented, skilled team in the business to ensure flawless implementation for our clients.
