ABOUT
We are an online magazine (e-zine) that provides content about outdoor events. Our focus is on people powered sports, in other words, no motors, though we do not entirely exclude motorized sports. If you like to play outside we want to hear about it.
Our Mission
Our Goals
Our site targets customers who are interested in tourism, outdoor sports, and outdoor activities. By increasing the number of participants who pay to race, tour, and play in Appalachian's natural resources, the number of participatory events will increase and the areas where these events take place become more valuable. These outdoor active events generate money for the communities they serve, attention to their campaigns, and bring more health awareness to our rural area.
iPlayOutside.com birthed its humble beginnings as WVOutside.com in 1998. The founder, Don Parks, was a local runner and biker who found it difficult to find race results and photos anywhere. He decided to use his web savvy to create an online e-zine to post results, photos, and short stories from local running and biking races. Hence, WVOutside was born. Back in those days the web was a new and magical thing. Don began to post local races into an online schedule and people took notice. WVOutside became a stomping ground for local racers to find events to participate in, and a place to find event coverage. His dream began to become a reality when he hired a small staff of field journalists. With the increase in web software, and digital camera technology, WVOutside grew at a rapid pace, and the staff began to cover events in other states. The name was changed to iPlayOutside, the site evolved, and so did its followers. Today, iPlayOutside is still a state-of-the-art site, catering to the interests of today's outdoor participatory sports enthusiasts in an on-line magazine (e-zine) format. From professional athletes to everyday walkers, the site focuses on positive energy, outdoor fun, and community.
