It is clear that our goal is to direct the right runner to the right program. The Anchorage Running Club is committed to continuing our Running Leadership Forum. On a twice-yearly basis, we will host a meeting of running organizations and race directors that focuses on sharing information and resources. ARC in conjunction with Parks and Recreation will develop a running map of the Anchorage Bowl so that residents and visitors can get a feel for the tremendous resource they have available. Racing is a labor-intensive sport.
Volunteers are a premium commodity.
This has the potential for freeing up volunteers and improving results for all race participants. Support for a shared indoor track facility that would include the needs of hockey and indoor soccer, was the number one vote generator. The above is only a sample of the work that is in progress or that has been identified as a high priority need. I have included, as an attachment , the identified issues, concerns, and needs that were developed and refined in the three meetings that were held to develop this blueprint. Running 2005 a reality.
