Confessions of a Race Director

Who would be a Race Director?

Over the years Dave has been involved in organising many races and has indeed competed in a lot more.  When you are running in an event you never appreciate what effort has gone in to organising the day and also the problems that can occur throughout the day.

There are a few tales which have genuinely happened over the years that he would like to share with you so that next time you run in an event you may have some sympathy for the Race organisers.

There are so many other tales that he could tell and so many other problems that we encounter.  It sometimes does not matter how well you plan and event as there are always things that happen that are out of you control.  Just remember this when you do your next race and give a little thanks to the marshal’s and organisers who do this for nothing but for the love of the sport!
