As part of the annual Road Race Management Race Directors' Meeting, RRM will again honor an individual with the MarathonFoto/Road Race Management Lifetime Achievement Award. The award is for contributions to the sport of long distance road running over the course of a lifetime.

"Nominees should have made major contributions to the sport in more than one area, for example as administrator, elite athlete, promoter of the sport, or innovator as an event director or vendor. We will again honor a significant 'sport changer' - a person who really made a difference," said Phil Stewart, RRM editor and publisher.

Nominations from the public are being solicited and can be completed online by visiting Lifetime Achievement Award Nomination. Nominations will close September 15, 2016. A ten-person committee made up of race directors, sport administrators, industry leaders, past RRCA presidents and coaches will select the winner from the nominees.

The award will be presented at the annual Road Race Management Race Directors' Meeting at the keynote dinner on November 11 in St. Petersburg, FL.
