Race Readiness Checklist

Published checklists cover every race at once, which is why they are long enough to skim and close. Answer seven questions and this prints only the lines that apply to yours.

Your race

The list rebuilds as you answer.

How many finishers do you expect?
Where does it run?
How are you timing it?
Packet pickup before race day?
Aid stations on course?
Awards ceremony?
Raising money for a cause?
   

Written for PlayCompete, informed by the way races are actually run and by the published checklist at Race Directors HQ. It is a starting point, not a substitute for what your permit office, insurer and medical provider tell you.

Want the registration side handled too?

Registration, timing, results and race-day check-in, built by a race director. This checklist stays free either way.
