Athletics: 2005 RRCA National Convention in New Orleans

The New Orleans Track Club and The Road Runners Club of America are pleased to announce that the 2005 Road Runners Club of America National Convention will be held in New Orleans May 13 – 15, 2005.

This year’s convention will highlight the reestablishment of the RRCA as the single national organization representing grass roots running. The merger of the AARC and the RRCA will be complete and we will celebrate a new revitalized RRCA.

Since 1958 the Roadrunners Club of America has held a national convention for its members to conduct business and elect officers. The convention provides the opportunity for all RRCA club members to gather to discuss and vote on issues that face the sport of running and the organization. Educational components with a variety of workshops, seminars, social functions and numerous networking opportunities are a vital part of the weekend.

An important part of the Convention are the daily club runs and the highlighted race of the weekend. This years Gospel and Blues 5K Run and Walk and the daily club sponsored runs will capture the unique history, architecture and flavor of New Orleans.

Convention brochures will available to each club soon. Watch for more information, contests and opportunities as we approach the 48h annual Road Runners Club of America’ 2005 Convention in New Orleans.
