About the Meeting

As we look ahead, planning for a normal rest of 2022 and a true renewal of the sport in 2023, we have witnessed the resiliency of events. So, we encourage you to come to Hollywood to share “war stories” and to celebrate the strength of our sport and those who make it possible.

While things look much better, we must remain vigilant and plan for the unexpected. We overused the word “pivot” during the last two years‘ ordeal, but learning to be nimble and to adjust to the unexpected or unpleasantness is a necessary skill for successful race officials.

Take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade and improve your event. Learn, talk, socialize, debate and exchange ideas with other race officials. Network with event directors, sponsors, national running media, sports organizations, official and industry suppliers.

Join us on the beach in Hollywood, FL (6 miles from Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport).

We offer an excellent room rate of $189 at this beautiful oceanfront property. Join the many race committees that reward committee members with a trip to this meeting. It’s a great way to give key volunteers or staff a special treat while educating and rejuvenating them. In addition, the meeting offers you the opportunity to visit our many exhibitors and to network in a casual atmosphere.

Hope to see you December 8 at the MarathonGuide.com/Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic Welcome Reception, and at the two days of meeting sessions and social activities that follow. The need to gather remains, and we hope to have your input and support.

Sincerely,

Phil Stewart
