Welcome!
Jay
among road race organizers in central and northern New England.
Whether you are the race director, course manager, volunteer
coordinator, or have some other responsibility, you are welcome here.
This is where you can ask for advice or suggestions if you are
wrestling with a particular issue. And this is where we encourage you
to help other race organizers benefit from your experience and
knowledge. Race organizers don’t have to be competitive with each
other, and the relationship need not be adversarial. When road races
are well-organized, we all win!
To help get the process started, I've uploaded two files: Both are
from USATF-NE, courtesy of Justin Quo. The first is a Race Director's
Checklist, and the second is on designing a race entry form (that
originally came from Dave Camire at Yankee Timing Company. Take both
of these documents as good general guidelines, but also understand
that fluctuations from these guidelines are appropriate, and are often
necessary, based on the circumstances of an individual race. If you
have any comments on, or additions to these documents, please share
them with this group by posting your thoughts in this forum.
We will moderate this forum only for the purpose of ensuring that the
messages and information posted are accurate and appropriate. We will
do our best to control, if not prevent, spam from being posted here.
But please understand that spammers love these forums, and some
inappropriate messages may slip through. If they do, we will delete
those spam messages as soon as we see them. If you have any thoughts
on the content and/or structure of this forum, please post your
thoughts or write to me directly.
Thanks,
Jay
