“The Race Director Summit's return to The Running Event is a direct result of the incredible feedback we received last year," said Alex Vander Hoeven, CEO of Race Roster.

This year, we're building on that momentum to provide even more valuable insights and help forge stronger ties between race organizers and the retailers who support their local running communities. We are excited to continue this partnership with The Running Event”.

Featuring special guests and expert speakers from across the industry, the Race Director Summit will deliver content sessions and networking opportunities that are invaluable for directors and organizers of any size running events.
