Race Management and Race Timing
This race will be managed by Louisville Running Company. Locally owned by Michael Clemons, Louisville Running Company is an LGBTQ+-owned business that was founded in 2019 to provide full event support to running races in the Louisville community and surrounding areas to transform the city’s running scene. Louisville is the best of both worlds—a big city with a small town feel. One thing the city was missing was a full-time race management company to provide support to our community as it continues to grow and develop its running scene. The LRC provides these running services both locally and as contracted support to events around the country.
Louisville is a city full of rich history and diversity, and Louisville Running Company is committed to celebrating that diversity. Runners and walkers of all speeds, shapes, sizes, colors, and backgrounds are welcome. LRC will not only welcome all individuals to our events, we will also use our voice to promote and advocate for all. Hate and discrimination have no place at LRC events and will not be tolerated.
The race will be professionally timed by locally-owned DC Timing. DC Timing began in 2002, timing local cross country and road races. In 2003 new technologies were coming to the forefront and soon DCT was employing photo finish technology using FinishLynx. IPICO chip timing came to DCT in 2007, and soon after DCT was timing all State Championships in KY. Many regional and national championships later, DCT continues to employ the best equipment and technologies that the industry has to offer.
