Press release by the US Trail Running Conference. The US Trail Running Conference has co-produced by the American Trail Running Association since its inception in 2013.
Women can save 25% on conference registration until March 31!
Estes Park, CO – Active at Altitude, organizers of the 2019 US Trail Running Conference has announced a discount for women trail race directors and trail runners that register during the month of March. This discount offer is timed to coincide with Women’s History Month, a month-long celebration of women’s role in society since 1988. The 2019 Women’s History Month theme is “Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence.”
The seventh annual US Trail Running Conference will be held October 9-12, 2019, at the historic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. The event is presented by Race Roster, the fastest growing endurance registration website in North America, and is also held in partnership with the American Trail Running Association. The Conference is held in two segments. The first is focused on trail race directors, and is held Wednesday, October 9, to Friday October 11, while the second segment takes place on Saturday, October 12, and focuses on trail runners.
The US Trail Running Conference recently announced their theme for the 2019 event as: “Diversity and Inclusion, Trail Running for Everyone.” This discount offer is the first of a series of positive moves by Conference organizers to send a welcoming and encouraging message to groups that are currently under represented at trail races. Currently around 40% of trail runners at races are women, compared to around 60% at road races. The discount is expected to attract women runners that may be interested in finding out about trail running, or women race directors to enable them to grow their own race participation and diversity.
Event Director Terry Chiplin comments: “We are very excited to announce the first in a series of discount offers designed to welcome race directors and trail runners from groups that are currently under represented in trail races. With March being Women’s History Month, the co-ordination of this discount makes for perfect timing. We expect that many women race directors and trail runners will be attracted by this discount, and look forward to increasing participation numbers for women at this year’s event as a result.”
Conference registration is open and includes options for race director days as well as trail runner day. Women registering for race director or trail runner options should use the discount code 2019WOMENSHISTORY25 to benefit from the 25% discount offer.
