The ACM offers a formal space for the marathon racing community to engage with the committee and support the development of the sport further. We strongly encourage ALL clubs involved with marathon racing to attend and nominate a representative to vote. We also encourage ALL members of the marathon racing committee to attend even without voting rights.
The MRC will also be re-electing committee members at the ACM.
We are always looking for passionate people to join the committee and help drive positive change forward within the sport. This year we have two unfilled seats and would warmly invite anyone interested in the work of the marathon racing committee to get in touch at [email protected] as soon as possible, particularly if you have an interest in helping with: Coaching, Senior Athlete Development, Events, Junior Athlete Development, Media, Rules & Safeguarding.
There are various roles available with differing levels of commitment. All perspectives and experiences are encouraged and welcomed too.
