December 1, 2025

Prestigious Annual Award is Presented by MYLAPS Sports Technology

December 1, 2025 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – A committee made up of race directors, athletes, media, corporate executives, and club officials has named Michelle Juehring, director of the Quad City Times Bix7 as the MarathonFoto/Road Race Management Race Director of the Year. MYLAPS Sports Technology is the presenting sponsor. In the eyes of the selection committee, Michelle Juehring epitomizes what it takes to be a great director and leader.

Phil Stewart, President of Road Race Management, praised Juehring, “Michelle Juehring has shown grace and grit since taking over as director of the Quad City Times Bix 7 from longtime race director Ed Froehlich in 2020. She skillfully respected and retained key features which Ed had developed during his long tenure while placing her own stamp on the event with new features like the Senior Bix, a flat 1- or 2-mile event designed to provide a way for past participants who can no longer cover the full race distance to be part of the event. This year she adroitly navigated a near cancellation of the event due to weather. She is a most worthy recipient of the 2025 MarathonFoto/Road Race Management Race Director of the Year.”

The award will be presented at the Road Race Management Race Directors’ Meeting Welcome Reception on Monday evening December 8, 2025.
