Successful USA Ultimate D-3 Tournament — Another Huge Weekend Ahead

Last weekend, the USA Ultimate D-III College Championships brought an incredible wave of energy and excitement to Skagit River Park. The event was a huge success, drawing in thousands of student-athletes, coaches, families, and fans from across the country. The park was alive with competition, community, and camaraderie. One of the most thrilling moments came during the men’s championship game, when a spectacular play earned the #1 spot on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays. https://x.com/usaultimate/status/1924597501853892940?s=42 This national spotlight was a proud moment for our community and showcased Skagit Valley as a premier destination for major sporting events. 

Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to welcome the USA Ultimate D-I College Championships this upcoming weekend, May 23–26. This event is expected to draw over 5,000 athletes, coaches, and fans to Burlington, with the final championship game set to take place at Burlington-Edison High School, broadcast live on ESPN-U. This will be one of the largest sporting events to hit Skagit County this year, and it presents an exciting opportunity for our local businesses and hospitality sector to shine. 

Hotels are expected to sell out, and we anticipate a major boost for local restaurants, shops, and attractions. With so many visitors eager to experience the best of what our community has to offer, it’s a perfect time to get involved. 

If your business is interested in offering a discount or promotion for visiting athletes and fans, we’d love to help you get featured through our Playeasy platform and event outreach. If you’d like to participate, just reach out to me directly at cody@visitskagitvalley.com and we’ll help promote your offer to maximize visibility during this high-traffic weekend. 

Let’s continue to build on this momentum and make this another unforgettable event for Skagit Valley!
