What the Board Does

The RMRR Board of Directors handles planning and managing club operations.  The board consists of a five member Executive Committee of consisting of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, Marketing Director and Secretary. There are 10 additional board members: Volunteer Coordinator, Sponsor Liaison, Webmaster, Quartermaster, Scoring, and at-large activities. Finally, there are seven key volunteers in critical functional roles who regularly attend meetings.

Where we meet

Board meetings are held on the Monday before each Trophy Series race at the Whole Foods at 870 S. Colorado Blvd in Denver.  The meeting itself is at 7p…but if you want to run or eat beforehand, join us!  Folks typically run from the Whole Foods parking lot at 5pm, then have dinner at Las Delicias after the run.  If you don’t know how to get to this Whole Foods, check out the map.
