Section: News & Results, Marathons

The Road Race Management Race Directors’ Meeting has added a mini forum titled: “Issues Relating to the Recent Chicago Marathon” to their schedule for Saturday, Nov. 10.

Prior to this session they will discuss the role of a race spokesperson, which will touch on some of the issues generated by the extreme heat at Chicago, but the extra allotted session will afford additional time to discuss, digest and exchange views about what happened in Chicago, why it happened, and the reactions of the participants, the public and the media.

Attention Race Directors: Have Your Race Sponsored For Free!

There are literally hundreds of thousands of small races that take place each year around the world. Many of these events are organized and executed by small and dedicated staffs with a host of volunteers. In addition, large percentages of them benefit charities, noble causes and/or other worthy causes.

In trying to find ways to lower your overhead expenses and make your lives just that much easier, The Final Sprint has identified a fantastic opportunity for you to take advantage of: the “Runners World Magazine” Race Sponsorship Program.

Race Series

This program offers race directors free race supplies (including a choice of race numbers or sturdy event bags), calendar listings, product samples and even special subscription offers. Of course this also benefits our friends at Runner’s World Magazine through some wonderful advertising. However, it will save your race a heap of time and money – which will allow you to raise more funds for your charity of choice and administer a more efficient race. So go ahead and take advantage – you’ve earned it!
