GWTC Race Director Manual and Guide Updated

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.
