Double Road Race...the Birth of a new Sport!
Regarding the philosophical and promotional vision behind the Double Road Race™, Justin Wall of the D.R.R.F. says, “I think it’s important that people know Bob’s vision goes way beyond building one race or a series of races that are unique and different. He wants to build a new sport for runners, and the Double Road Race Federation will be the umbrella organization for these races. Runners do not get nearly enough attention, and Bob wants to recognize all runners, all ages, in many new and unique ways. As this grows, he looks forward to working with the best and most visionary race directors all over the country and internationally, as well as encouraging new organizers who share his vision to license and put on official Double Road Races.
“Our underlying cause with the Double, in addition to encouraging more participation and provide runners with a new challenge, is to support national youth running programs (such as JustRun.org), as well as other local running programs for kids. There is a big issue with child obesity in this country, and our goal is to raise funds and awareness by building up running programs for kids.”
