Nittany Valley Running Club

If you are planning a race in central Pennsylvania -- even if you don't have the applications ready and the date is tentative -- please give us a heads-up as early as possible and submit an event for our club's race calendar. Hopefully, we can reduce the number of local races scheduled for the same day. Please submit race information to Marty Mazur at mxm14@psu.edu. We also encourage you send us a digital version of your race application to put on our website, or if you have your own race website, the address so that we can link to it.

Also, you can join the Yahoo! Discussion Group NVRC, to get and/or spread the early buzz on upcoming races. You don't need to be a Nittany Valley Running Club member to join the Discussion Group.

Here are three pages essential to novice race directors:

• A Race Director's Primer: How To Direct A Race In The State College Area.
• Special information for Directors of on-campus races.
  
• The NVRC times many local races. Here is the Club's Race Timing Policy.
• Race Directors' quick checklist (reprinted from Cool Running). Full of general tips for directing a successful race.
