Spotlight on the Sport
We recently hosted a couple focus groups which touched on a variety of running industry topics. We enjoyed them so much that we want to make them a regular occurrence and are assembling a list of those interested in future participation.

  • Calls and webinars each last between 40-60 minutes
  • Participation is available for Running USA members and non-members
  • Feel free to provide more than just your name if you feel your organization has other individuals who would want to participate
