About the Meeting

The 2009 Road Race Management Race Directors' Meeting and Trade Exhibit will be held Nov. 5-7 at the Marriott Hollywood Beach in Hollywood, FL. The hotel is right on the beach and the boardwalk, so 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 Hollywood Beach. Think about spending an extra day to enjoy the pool, beach, boating and fishing or nearby golf in this tropical oasis.

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.

See the Sights
Think about spending an extra day to enjoy the beach, pool, sailing, fishing or nearby golf in this tropical oasis (golf packages are available through the hotel). Our meeting headquarters is located right on the beach and the boardwalk, so the running and sunning options are great!
