Road race planning for non-profits
There are a number of Franklin based non-profits conducting a road race as a fundraiser for their organization. As a life long runner and volunteer on the board of a non-profit, this is a happy junction of interests!
Some of the organizations are relatively new to the race arena, so I thought it would make sense for the organizers to get together. Those with experience can share the best of what they have learned.
Perhaps the awareness of the other races can be shared with each others mailing list? Perhaps the scheduling of some of the races can be spread around the calendar to avoid conflicts. Such learning and sharing should help all to create a more successful race for their respective organizations.
Who would NOT want a more successful race?
I spent a few minutes this morning in Google looking for best practices in road race organization. Some of these links you may have found before but if not, they may be helpful to take from them to create a better race.

Who would NOT want a more successful race?
- More runners
- Better prepared to execute the race
- Less hassles
- More communications about the race/cause

Importance of landing page
Use a template for the guest bloggers with the built in links to donate now, or call to action
video with Molly’s story
use a pop up as people come to the page following a RSS link
look for endorsement from the blogger; you are getting attention, building understanding, and driving to a donation
incorporate vendor network with video tips; i.e. oil change from approved vendor network
others bloggers can link to a special landing/splash page with call to action
provide messages to share
“not interested in a band aid, want to provide a cure”
two way street
get out of park into drive
jump start a woman’s future
people need to know the way, the path out of a problem (i.e. homeless, etc.)
a day without cars - another awareness project
Mike McCurry stepped up to help do incorporate
