Before we get started lets take a moment to familiarize you with Run America. Simply put this is the last “place” (hopefully) you will need to Refine, Register and Record your events. When we say “place” you can use the Run America website or mobile app to find exactly the type of events you’d like to run, walk, participate in whenever and wherever you are. Take a look at the video below to get a head start on doing just that!

For those that have not heard the news the 2nd Generation of the Run America mobile app is now available in the iTunes Appstore and Google Play. The Run America app is your one stop for everything “running”. Here you can refine, register and record (coming early 2019) your events. Any event that requires you to “move your feet” will be in Run America at some point (that is unless the event chooses not to???). Every walk, run, across all known terrains, from sea to shining sea, is destined for Run America. Run America is presently working to integrate all multi-sport and variety runs too! The idea behind RunAmerica is simple. Provide an app that can filter through all known events, including a strong profile of preferences, to find the event that you want when and how you want it. The current version of Run America brings together all the events from RunSignUp, Active and Race Entry into a single interface. Runners be sure to check out the app now so you know when its time to run. Race Directors we’ve got your FREE BIB program now that Road ID has started to charge for their bibs!!!
If Linkedin is your thing have we got a Group for you! Closing in on one thousand (1000) members the Race Director & Event Promoters Group is the place to discuss anything you need to know about “managing” a run, walk, multi-sport or variety event! Be sure to request admittance and keep on top of what’s going on in the fast paced world of race and event promotions!
That’s it for this issue of the Run America Newlsetter now find a friend, a loved one, an event and get out there and run (or walk) and have some fun all while supporting a number of top notch causes and charities… Anyone looking to provide, promote or share information for the next issue of the Run America Newsletter should send an email with those details outlining your contact information.
