RRCA Annual ConventionEach year the RRCA gathers in a different
city for the annual convention, business meeting, workshops, and national awards banquet.
The RRCA awards the National Convention location through a competitive bidding process for member clubs. Hosting the RRCA Convention is a great opportunity for a club to highlight their community’s commitment to running, earn revenue for their club, and promote a local race.
