RRCA Annual Convention

Since 1958, the RRCA has gathered in different cities around the country for the Annual RRCA National Convention. The Convention is a great opportunity for running club leaders, race directors, fitness professionals, RRCA State Representatives, Regional Directors, Board Members, RRCA Certified Coaches, sponsors, running industry professionals and runners to come together to share information, best practices, and contribute to the national mission of the RRCA. The Convention consists educational workshops on best practices, the RRCA Annual Meeting of the Membership, the National Running Awards Banquet, and several social networking events. Hundreds of runners, club leaders, event directors, and corporate supporters attend the RRCA Convention. Clubs are encouraged to reward their key volunteers with a trip to the RRCA Convention.

Bidding on the RRCA Convention

The RRCA awards the National Convention location through a competitive bidding process. Bids are only accepted from RRCA members clubs or events. Interested hotels or convention bureaus must partner with an RRCA member, and the RRCA member must submit the bid for consideration. Members interested in hosting the RRCA Convention must be willing to manage all aspects of the convention within the established expectations and with oversight from the RRCA executive director. Hosting the RRCA Convention is a great opportunity for a club to highlight their community’s commitment to running, potentially earn revenue for their club, and promote a local race.
