COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - (January 5, 2014) - At Running USA 2014: The Industry Conference powered by ACTIVE Network, one of the general sessions will be How to Bring More Diversity to the Sport. Slated for Tuesday, February 11 from 8:30 - 10:30am, the panel will include Leo Manzano (2012 Olympic 1500m silver medalist, right PhotoRun), Tina Klein(Balanced Running, LLC), George Banker (Army Ten-Miler), Tony Reed (National Black Marathoners Association) and Walter Bland III (consultant). The 11th edition of the sport's premier and largest conference will be held on February 9-11 at the Marriott Marquis & Marina on San Diego's beautiful waterfront.
"As documented and reported by Running USA over the past decade, our sport is booming in participation, but compared to their percent of the general population, minorities are underrepresented in road races," said Creigh Kelley, panel moderator. "With attendees, this esteemed panel will discuss how to bring more African Americans, Latinos and other groups to the sport and the starting line as well as examine the barriers and challenges."
Presenting sponsors of Running USA 2014 are Ashworth Awards, ChronoTrack, Competitor Group, Leslie Jordan, Inc. and MarathonFoto.com.
