Running USA, the non-profit trade association for the sport of road running, has launched a new digital magazine for race directors. The new Race Director Magazine (RDM)’s first issue is now available.
The first issue of RDM features an interview with TCS NYC Marathon Race Director Ted Metellus, articles on business takeaways from the pandemic, the future of virtual events, utilizing volunteers post-COVID and more.
“RDM was developed with race director content desires front and center,” said Dawna Stone, CEO of Running USA. “This issue and future editions will include in-depth articles, interviews, race director commentary, data, perspectives and more.
The magazine is just one initiative that Stone and her team have been working on to support the running industry as live races begin to make a gradual comeback.
RDM will be published quarterly. Running USA adds that readers will enjoy an interactive digital engagement experience, with the chance to link out to supplemental content like videos, take a survey, or visit sponsored pages.
Running USA also thanked a number of companies who came forward to support the first issue: Ashworth Awards, Leslie Jordan, Nicholas Hill Insurance, Nuun, Race Roster and Rhino Active.
