Big-time sports competitions are flocking to Maine, and with them, new business opportunities.

— On Sunday, Augusta hosted an Ironman triathlon drawing 1,700 athletes from around the world. The grueling competition was predicted to generate as much as $7 million in economic activity for the region.

— In June, Falmouth teed off the second Live + Work in Maine Open, a pro golf tournament estimated to bring about $6 million in business to southern Maine.

— This weekend features international sports competitions ranging from a pro bike race in Bangor to the famed TD Beach to Beacon 10K running competition in Cape Elizabeth.

A glance at the advertising, signage, tee shirts and beer koozies for events like these makes it clear: Doing business around sports events isn't just about Little League sponsorships.
