If you haven't put your race results and information on the athlete profiler, now is the time to do so.

Look under the Junior Development section on the SE website.

Race Directors, what is our job and how can we help each other.

Whether we are a volunteer, club driven or professional race director, we all put in countless, and sometimes thankless hours of our own time and effort into our events. We are the driving force behind the amazing and continued growth of multi-sports. Without events, most athletes would not have goals. We, race directors, provide for our participants a reason to have goals/races! We inspire people to be the best they can be by developing a lifestyle of fun and fellowship through sport, while attaining healthy and happy outlooks on life. All that and more is offered every time we put on our hats and for the day become race directors.

What can USAT-SE do for you? USAT-SE is now offering a race director program:

Message Forum: fellowship, share ideals, obtain advice, ask for help at rd.usat-se.org/forums.

Help with calendar clearing: the first weekend of June had at least 5 USAT-SE sanctioned multisport events, several non-sanctioned and many other BIG non-multisport. Can we change that, we can try?

"Race Day Tent" program: each SE Board members has been trying to get to as many races as possible with USAT-SE tents. We are trying to help promote all the new USAT-SE programs and your races.

USAT-SE race promotion: Need a little extra advertisement, simply drop your race applications in the mail to us (you can find the board members at http://www.usat-se.org). We will carry yours and only USAT-SE sanctioned forms race to race and carry them for you!

Complimentary Race Entry Fees: sort of an RD exchange program, we all allow each other complimentary entries into our races. This program is solicited to USAT-SE race directors only! We help each other out with no entry fee and the bonus to the race is the friends we each bring that pay for their entry.

Equipment help: Possibly rentals or referrals of who has what and possible exchanges/trades
