The Running USA Meeting is a meeting of race directors, sponsors and key players in the running business. We have been to the meeting a half a dozen times and see that Running USA could be a trade organization for the sport.
The Active Endurance Blog wrote up eight lessons that they learnt at the Running USA Conference. Nicely written, and good tips for both race directors and coaches, and run specialty, this piece is chock full of common sense information for sports management.
