Athletics Canada is excited today to announce a new three-year national partnership with Race Roster that will see the organizations work to support the road race industry in a way that promotes safe and fun events, while lowering operational expenses of organizing a race.
Alex Vander Hoeven, Race Roster Chief Executive Officer, “Race Roster values the opportunity to work with Athletics Canada in bringing new technology to the rapidly evolving Canadian road race industry. The objective of this program is to celebrate and support Canadian road racing at the provincial and national levels, while respecting the autonomy, creativity, and individuality of the many running events across the country.”
As part of this partnership Race Roster will continue to serve as title sponsor of Athletics Canada’s National Race Director Summit. The 2015 edition of the summit is slated for May 28 in Calgary, Alta., a few days prior to the 2015 Canadian Half Marathon Championships being held as part of Calgary Race Weekend. Registration, speaker list, and schedule information available here.
