After almost 5 years away I have decided to plunge back into the world of race directing. Put the DH Dash on your calendar for Nov 7.
My requirements to direct a race are the following:
1) The race itself must be distinctive and exciting. The DH Dash takes place in the Two Rivers district of the Nashville Greenway (near Wave Country.) The 5K turns around on the Pedestrian bridge (pictured above) and the 10K crosses the bridge and includes a loop in Shelby Bottoms Park.
2) It must have adequate support from community or organization resources. The organizing committee of the DH Dash is the Donelson Hermitage Chamber of Commerce, which includes members such as Cedarstone Bank, Summit Medical Center, Emdeon, the airport, and Gaylord Opryland.
3) It helps if a worthwhile philanthropy benefits. A portion of the proceeds will benefit repairs at Donelson Christian Academy, a K-12 school which incurred major damages from The Flood.
4) It must promote community fitness. As Race Coordinator I have launched a new arm of my coaching business to promote community fitness. Read about the new effort here. D-H Chamber of Commerce members receive free Corporate Fitness Promotions services.
