The Kingston Road Runners is looking to recruit. We are seeking some fresh ideas and new personnel. The following positions are available.

KRRA President

With Lana Saunders’ upcoming retirement as President (10 years at the helm), the KRRA is looking for a new President to head the KRRA Board of Directors. Lana has done a stellar job for the past decade and she looks forward stepping back to allow this opportunity for someone new.

The President oversees the Treasurer’s responsibilities, chairs KRRA Board Meetings, liaises with race directors, and corresponds with outside organizations on behalf of the club. The KRRA is looking for someone who is knowledgeable about the Kingston running community, a good leader, and someone who can commit approximately 25-30 hours a month to these efforts. The President is supported by a solid Board of Directors, and an excellent team of Race Directors.

The Club Presidency would commence in 2024.

KRRA Secretary

The Board of Directors meet on a monthly basis, requiring a well-organized individual to attend, and document these meetings. The Secretary would generate meeting minutes, meeting agendas, for Board members and the members. Some light administrative tasks are occasionally tasked to the Secretary. This position is not a big commitment and you don’t have to be a runner to apply.

This position is available immediately.

Resolution Run Race Director

The first race of the KRRA Series is seeking an energetic Race Director to manage this event, which takes place the first Sunday in January. This position will organize the event prior to and on Race day. Tasks include securing a Parade Permit, online race registration, organizing volunteers, booking timing company, bibs, race swag, medals, light food and drink, sponsors and prizes, event communications and marketing, booking event venue for bib pickup and post-event awards ceremony. It sounds like a lot of work but there is lots of support for this position, including the past Director providing plenty of help to make light work of the position.

This position is available immediately for the upcoming 2024 event, and the commitment would be for at least two years.

If you, or anyone you know may be interested in any of these positions, please contact President Lana Saunders for more information. Email: lanaonhowe@gmail.com
