At the Association of Running Event Directors, our goal is to offer outstanding Training Sessions to our members (and non-members, too). As a member, you will receive a discount on all training sessions and conferences. These high-quality sessions, based on the outcomes of hundreds of running events of all distances and types, provide you with the information, ideas and support you need to make your running event a success!

 We'll be your race management consultant!

Find out what you need to know about:  sponsorship, marketing, planning, course management, volunteer recruitment, local government issues, ethics, walkers, kids, award ceremonies, results, and more when you join the Association of Running Event Directors.  Learn how to make your event work for your charity, running club, park district, chamber of commerce, school, business, or other organization.
