The sports event industry continues to boom in the Raleigh area. It's been six months since we took a look at 2014 in photos, and the first half of 2015 has been another big success. The Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance has already assisted in hosting more than 35 sporting events during the calendar year, including major events such as MAPL Volleyball, Rock 'n' Roll Raleigh Marathon & ½ Marathon presented by WRAL benefiting The V Foundation, IRONMAN 70.3 Raleigh, NCAA Division II Baseball Championships, AAU Karate National Championships and many more. Below are some of our best Instagrams from the first half of the year. For more, follow @raleighncsports to keep up with the sports event industry in the Raleigh area and keep an eye on our calendar of events to find out what's ahead.
