"If I can do it, you can too!"
Directs race for company with over 4,000+ employees
The RTD team is extremely supportive, responsive, energetic and truly feel like part of the race team! Their new app to assign bibs and register runners was amazing - it streamlined the prep work and made for a seamless race day (for a race with over 500 runners). We have worked with RTD on our event for 15 years and with their eagerness to improve the experience for our team and the race participants, each year gets better and better!

There’s nothing else like it for a virtual race. [Our race] is about being together as part of a community and I think that anyone doing a virtual race should consider doing it this way.
