About the Meeting

We encourage you to come to Hollywood to celebrate the strength of our sport and those who make it possible. Take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade and improve your event. Learn, talk, socialize, debate and exchange ideas with other race officials. Network with event directors, sponsors, national running media, sports organizations, official and industry suppliers.

Join us on the beach in Hollywood, FL (6 miles from Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport).

We are offering an excellent room rate at this beautiful oceanfront property (Click Here for hotel information and to make reservations). Join the many race committees that reward committee members with a trip to this meeting. It’s a great way to give key volunteers or staff a special treat while educating and rejuvenating them. In addition, the meeting offers you the opportunity to visit our many exhibitors and to network in a casual atmosphere.

Hope to see you December 13 at the MarathonGuide.com/Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic Welcome Reception, and at the two days of meeting sessions and social activities that follow. While we can't guarantee the weather, we can guarantee that you will find the content at the sessions illuminating.

Sincerely,

Phil Stewart
