The Directors Pages: www.directors.island-timing.com A work in progress, I've started these pages to assist directors with their organization. I am rebuilding the former running pages here. I hope to provide a step by step aproach to race direction.
I've directed many races over the years and I'm sharing some basic advice learned from experience as well as the companies I deal with for supplies.
For my awards, I've used Dinn Bros. Great quality, the prices are good and the service is fast. We will soon be providing awards ourselves. E mail us for a quote at bob@eerunner.com
We usually give trophies for the overall male and female finishers with a gift certificate from a sponsor. Then medals to the top 3 in each age catagory.
For smaller races a ten year age catagory works, but for larger I recomend five year age catagories. And Trophies to Top 3 Male and Female. Some races like plaques instead of trophies.
We are working on providing race directional and mile marker signs and banners; registration table covers; even promotional water paid for by your sponsor. You and/or your sponsors can contact us at bob@eerunner.com
