Help Strengthen the
Sport
Running USA has a strong history of supporting other
non-profit running entities and this year's fundraising effort adopts a
grassroots approach open to donors at all funding levels. We're asking anyone
who loves runners and the sport of running to join us in supporting this great
cause.
USA Track and Field made a generous donation of $25,000
already and we're aiming to hit $50,000 before it's all said and
done!

Industry
Innovation Showcase and Expo
Our Industry Innovation Showcase, where companies share
their products, gear and technology for 15-minutes to attendees, has a few
additional spots available for featured presenters. This is an opportunity those
looking to connect race directors with their products and services should take
advantage of. If interested, please reach out to Rich Harshbarger at rich@runningusa.org.
Similarly,
we only have a handful of booths left for the expo, where over 500 conference
attendees spend time searching for race options for the year ahead. Get in on
the action today and contact Rich to find out how to register.
Registration is Still Open
Just because the conference is two weeks away doesn't
mean you can't register! To attend, the price is currently $749 for members and
$949 for non-members. Hurry up and join in on the festivities.
2015 Registered Attendee List - Over 600
Registrants!
The current list of registered attendees is now

Schedule

Great sessions and great speakers, the 2015 Running USA
Industry Conference promises to be one to remember. We have keynote speaker Pat
Williams (co-founder of the Orlando Magic), panel leader Mary Wittenberg (CEO of
