2.1 Location & Venue Selection
Multiple venues were visited and compared using weighted factor analysis (Cvent, 2017; Hessami & Hunter, 2002). Rother Valley Country Park was suitable for the Duathlon course; however, was expensive and harder to access (Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, 2009). Hillsborough Park was selected for its transport links and hire price (Sheffield City Council, 2015). However, the venue is small, something to consider if the event grows.
