Last Call: Race Director University Extends $100 Savings on 21-Guide Quick Reference Series Through March 10

February 27, 2026

Five Guides Dedicated to Race Director Professional Education — Collection Includes 80+ Job Descriptions and 100+ Checklists Scaled Across Three Event Tiers

DeKalb, Ill. (February 27, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — Race Director University (RDU) has extended the introductory pricing on its 21-guide Quick Reference Series through March 10, 2026 — a final window for endurance event professionals to lock in the complete collection at $99.95 before the price increases to $199.95.

The extension comes after strong initial demand from race directors who are building their operational infrastructure ahead of the 2026 spring racing season. For professionals who manage events without a formal playbook, the Quick Reference Series eliminates the guesswork.

“There is no licensing requirement to become a race director in the United States,” said Gregory J. Evans, Founder & CEO of Race Director University. “Anyone can organize an event tomorrow with no training, no certification, and no operational standards. That is exactly why we built this. These 21 guides are the professional standard that the industry has never had.”

Five Guides Built for Race Director Professional Development

While the full collection covers 15 operational disciplines and six foundational pillars, five guides in the series are specifically designed for race director education and professional growth:

Why This Matters Now

Spring race season is weeks away. Permit applications are due. Volunteer training starts next month. Insurance renewals are on desks right now. The directors who build their infrastructure before the starting gun fires are the ones whose events survive — and the ones whose runners come home safe.

The Quick Reference Series was developed from more than 30 years of endurance event management experience. Each guide is formatted at 11” × 17” ledger size, designed for double-sided printing and tri-fold field use — built to be carried on race day, not filed in a drawer.

“We have seen too many preventable failures in this industry — from hydration stations with no temperature monitoring to medical tents with no evacuation plan,” Evans said. “Every one of those failures traces back to the same root cause: no written protocol. These guides exist so that the next race director who faces a crisis has a playbook in their hand, not a prayer in their heart.”

Pricing and Availability

All guides are delivered as watermark-free, print-ready PDFs with instant download.
