Race Director Resources    
MAG 7 WEBSITE

This web site was created and is managed by volunteers. We do not control any of the races in the series, we only promote and support the individual races of the series. We work closely with each race director to assure we post the following information prior to every race in the Mag 7 Road Race Series:

* Event Name
* Event Date
* Start Time
* City in which race is held
* Race Director name, phone number and email
* Race flyer or link to downloadable flyer
* Link to race or online registration website

 
RACE RESULTS

One of the most requested and most used areas of the Mag 7 website is the Race Results page. We are committed to posting results from those races which are a part of our series. Those results may be found on the Results tab. The Mag 7 will also make available, when time allows, the posting of non-Mag 7 results. Please provide those results to us through our "Contact Us" tab and we will endeavor to post the results when we are able.

For both Mag 7 and non-Mag 7 events: We CANNOT post results if we do not receive them. It is the responsibility of each race director to provide results for posting. We cannot post results if they are not provided to us.

 
CONTRACT BASICS

We have posted a recent article provided by Road Runners Club of America concerning contract basics of running either a club or an event. It is a good primer to help reduce the possiblity of litigation. This document IS NOT a replacement for legal council, it is only a starting resource. You MUST consult an attorney for specific guidance in the matters discussed in this article. You can download this document HERE.

MAG 7 RACE PLANNING WORKSHEET

The best place to start if you are planning a race is with our Planning Worksheet for Race Directors. This is a simple excel document containing a fairly comprehensive outline for putting on a successful race. You can download this document HERE.

 
USATF COURSE CERTIFICATION

The Mag 7 can provide USAT&F course certification. The cost for a 5K is $250, 10K is $350, Mini-Marathon is $600 and Marathon is $1,000.

 
MAG 7 RACE SERIES CRITERIA

Who We Are:
The Magnificent 7 Race Series was established by Dr. Jerry Ruff in 1997 to promote participation in road races held in the 7 south-central Indiana counties of: Brown, Greene, Jackson, Lawrence, Monroe, Morgan, Owen. The Mag 7 is dedicated to providing promotional and marketing support through this website, printed materials and race day support services for local road and trail races of the series. The Mag 7 neither owns nor conducts the individual races of the series. Each race is autonomous and chooses to be affiliated with the Mag 7 for promotional and race day support services only. The Race Director of the individual event is ultimately responsible for the administration and management of that race. Contact the Race Director for any issues or concerns you may have with their race. Please contact us through this site for any questions concerning the race schedule, promotions, marketing and administration of the series.
