Race Directors - Sign-up to Market Your Race

 

The South Jersey Running Companies are here to help the running community. As a Race Director, you are also providing an important service to the running community, and we are here to help you get more participants to your event!

In 2008 we listed 262 races and triathlons in the South Jersey and greater Philadelphia area. Our Races webpage receives thousands of hits per month from runners searching for that perfect race. We provide this service for free. We also have a variety of other services available to help you market your race and reach the largest possible audience. Pick what makes sense for your race!
