The role of race director is very similar to that of event coordinator - they are both responsible for the successful execution of a race meeting. However, the race director also has the additional responsibility of managing conflict of interests between events on the track such as concurrent stage races or overlapping breakaways. They work with the venue to ensure there are no conflicts with other events being held at the same time. If there are, adjustments may need to be made to avoid delaying one event while preserving the integrity of the others.
