In April 2014, I created the goal of running 50 individual 5K races before my 5Oth birthday, Sep 30, 2015. After several races, I realized that I could do something more than just race and donate to some cause I didn't really care for. I wanted my 50th race to be more meaningful, and to help do some good in my own backyard. So I toyed with the thought of organizing my first race and talked to my hubby about this possibility.
In January 2015, hubby and I invited a few friends over for dinner and that night, a race committee was born!
None of us had any experience in organizing a race. It was a daunting project.
Here is a list of what we thought we needed:
- Location
- Date
- Race Name
- Marketing and Promotions
- Online registration
- Shirts
- Awards
- Volunteers
- Food
- Beneficiary
