Certified Race Director
Our Race Director Ruben Figueredo Jr is a Certified Race Director by Road Runners Club of America. “Founded in 1958, the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) is the oldest and largest national association of runners and running organizations dedicated to growing the sport of running. Completing the Race Director Certification course shows that an event director is mindful of best practices and in turn should produce quality events.
