Committee Roles – Race Organisation & Promotion

Overview

The role of the Race Organisation & Promotion representative on the Committee is to organise or oversee all club internal races and races open to other runners organised by the club.

Specific activities / jobs

Last Friday of the Month (LFOTM) 5k
Handicap
NYD 10k
Home matches (Cross-country, Track & Field, Summer League)
Jekyll & Hyde Park Duathlon
Grand Prix
Serpie Decathlon

General duties and responsibilities

The role does not require the person to do the entire organisation as other people can be assigned to be Race Directors. However, the committee member should have an overview of all the races, so he/she can fill in when the organising person, for example the handicapper, is not available.

While the handicap is organised by the handicapper, the role of the Race Organisation & Promotion rep is to promote and organise the Club Championship races.

Currently the main job is the organisation of the New Years Day 10k, starting from getting the race licenses together, through getting the entry forms printed, to organising the race day itself.
