(April 6, 2021) – Running USA, the non-profit trade association for the sport of road running, is excited to announce a new digital magazine for race directors. Race Director Magazine (RDM)’s first issue is now available for readers interested in the running industry to explore and enjoy.

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 much more.

This issue and future editions will include in-depth articles, interviews, race director commentary, data, perspectives and more,” said Dawna Stone, CEO of Running USA. 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.
