THE FRONT PAGE - NEWS FROM NORTH FLORIDA - APR 2008:

How Can I Be Sure... - Does your club insurance cover every event with which your club is involved? It all depends.
- Does your club identify the event as a club-owned event by listing it on the club calendar?
- Does your Board meet to discuss and make decisions about the event?
- Is the club involved in planning at every stage of the event?
- Is the event referred to in club meeting minutes as a club owned event?
- Does the club, in addition to managing all aspects of the event, train and supervise the volunteers on the course, at the aid stations, and at the finish line?
- Do the words organized by (or similar wording) with the name of the club appear on the race entry form?
- Do the proceeds of the event go into the clubs checking account before being disbursed to vendors or charities?

If you can answer "yes" to all of the questions, then your club insurance will cover the event. If another organization producing a race borrows your resources (equipment, expertise, etc.) they need to have their own insurance, because your club insurance will (and should) not cover that event. If it isn't on the list you send to the national office, odds are quite good it won't be covered. If it's a new event you are producing and fits all the criteria listed above, get the information to the national office, and quickly.


North Florida Meeting - Come join Pensacola's RRCA clubs (Capt'n Fun Runners, Pensacola Runners, McGuire's Runners, and Seville Quarter Milers) at the North Florida district meeting, Friday, August 1, the night before the Capt'n Fun Bushwacker 5K on Pensacola Beach. Presentations on volunteer organization, marketing, race travel, as well as a view from the USA Triathlon perspective are planned. It's a cross between a business meeting and end-of-summer mixer. Mark your calendar. Bring your friends.
