Has anyone organized a road race?

Hi Guys,

Our school PTO is trying to raise money for a new playground and we've decided to include a 5K or 10K race with a Kid Fun Run as part of it. Does anyone know where I can get info on organizing this? Webstites, advice, anything? Thanks for reading this!

Hi Allison,
While I've never actually organized one myself, I noticed that there was a whole article about this in the most recent copy of Trail Runner Magazine. Might be a good place to start

Thanks Mattea! Sorry it took me a few days to respond...things are a little bit crazy this month for me. I'll check this out since I really have no place to start. Thanks again.

Contact a local running club. They maybe able to assist in the planning. The Road Runners Club of American, http://www.rrca.org/, is a good place to start. Good Luck!
