GWTC Race Director Manual and Guide

December 2025

The long awaited update to the GWTC Race Director Manual and Guide is complete.  If you are a race director, you will find the manual provides helpful guidelines for organizing a quality race. It is not, however, a replacement for experience. It is strongly recommended that you attend and observe other races prior to your race, volunteer with a race director on an existing race, and/or get an experienced race director to work with you the first time you direct a race. You will find many of GWTC’s race directors willing to offer ideas and answer questions; helpful information is also posted on the Club’s website. The Club also has a position known as the Director of Race Directors (DRD) who can help answer your questions. Periodically, the Club offers a race director’s clinic. GWTC does not, however, take on the task of directing or partnering with other organizations to put on races that are not Club races.
