Words from the Race Directors
“We partnered with A Runner’s Mind to provide race timing and event management services. Frank and Kyle are a pleasure to work with and really understand the needs of the runners, in order to make an event of success. Additionally, they bring great energy to the event and we look forward to partnering with them again for next year’s event”
- Joni Thomas Feed the Need 5K/10K Race Director
"A Runner's Mind has everything imaginable to produce the highest quality race events and delivers it in a friendly manner. They came to our race day, set up their timing and inflatable arch equipment and did an impressive job of making sure our race participants were briefed on race timing procedures that we otherwise would not have been aware of. Their expertise with races especially came in handy and their equipment made our event look much more professional."
