About
the Meeting
The 2010 Road
Race Management Race Directors' Meeting and Trade
Exhibit will be held November 11-13 at the Westin
Colonnade in Coral Gables, FL. The
hotel is 6 miles from the Miami Airport. Make plans now to soak up some sun as the weather
gets colder next November!
Join us at the
world’s foremost, oldest, and most prestigious
race directors’ meeting and trade exhibit.
Network with many of the sport’s prominent and
best-known event directors, sponsors, national
running media, sports organizations, and your
fellow race directors.
Take advantage of
this unique opportunity to upgrade and
improve your event. Learn, talk, socialize, debate
and exchange ideas with race officials just like
yourself. Immerse yourself in innovative marketing
ideas that can help you recruit new and retain
existing sponsors. Network with event
directors, sponsors, national running media,
sports organizations, officials and vendors.
Improve your skills, or run the risk of having your event left
behind. Each year Road Race Management recruits many of
the sport’s most experienced and articulate leaders who will
share their secrets of success with you. Learn how they cope
with new challenges and improve their events year after year.
Please join us in
Coral Gables. Think about spending an extra

nearby golf in this tropical oasis.

Race directors, officials of races
of all sizes, sponsors, agents, public relations
and event marketing professionals, media, and
exhibitors with an interest in the road running
marketplace.
The
Program
The entire
faculty prepares fully in advance, often
surveying races around the country to bring you
topical, in-depth information in all our
seminars. The full 2010 schedule will be posted
here when it becomes available in July. To get
some idea of the schedule and types of seminars
held in the past, you can click here to view
the 2009
Meeting Schedule.
The
Trade Show
Race officials have a chance
to "shop" for all their needs at the
two-day Race
Directors' Trade Exhibit. The show
provides a very efficient way to see what's new
for race directors and running clubs, and to meet
people you may have been talking to on the phone
for years.
Networking
The weekend offers numerous
informal gatherings--including the Atlanta Track
Club continental breakfast, Gasparilla Distance
Classic Coffee Breaks, Gatorade Breaks, Keynote
Luncheon, and MarathonGuide.com/World's Best
10K and Ashworth Awards evening
receptions--to renew acquaintances, make new
friends and learn from your colleagues in a
relaxed resort atmosphere.
