Active Network shares key organisational steps in the Race Director’s checklist

Having supported hundreds of thousands of events around the world over the last 15 years, ACTIVE Network® know that the secret to successful events lies in the details, of which there are dozens to manage before, during and after a race event.

While some steps are simple - like creating a budget – many others require expertise, forethought and experience.

Based upon offering technology solutions that benefit both participants and organisers, ACTIVE Network®  have created the Race Director’s Checklist, sharing their insight into what separates successful events from the rest.

The Race Director’s Checklist builds on ACTIVE’s expertise, organising the details that will make or break anr event into three categories: Planning the Event, The Day of the Event and Post-Event.

This free-to-download checklist not only tracks event details with interactive checks, but also presents easy-to-understand lessons on how to get them done.

The Race Director’s Checklist explains how to:

Before the event:
1. Prepare a budget that accounts for possible last-minute costs
2. Work with local government and police
3. Plan for emergencies
4. Attract participants through sponsorships and marketing

On the day of the event:
5. Organise volunteers
6. Continue marketing your event with social media

After the event:
7. Create presentations for key stakeholders
8. Promote your next event
