I want to put on a road race. I have zero experience in race directing but I have been around the sport for over a decade and know the very general ins and outs of road races. I've run competitive times (sub 15 for 5k, etc) and have some connections at local shoe stores around my area. So my question to the letsrun message board is....
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW TO PLAN,AND PUT ON A SUCCESSFUL ROAD RACE?
