RRTC Officer Roles – Course Registrar

Registrar Position

This position is appointed by the Chairman of the Road Running Technical Council. The Chairman may make the appointment based upon the person’s previous experiences as a Measurer or preferably a Certifier. The Chairman may also seek a recommendation of others that have served on the Road Running Technical Council. It is most important that a Registrar has experience at least with the process of Certification. The ideal person for this job is the Chairman, because any problems can be handled immediately and the Chairman has first hand knowledge of all courses being Certified.

Registrar’s Responsibilities

The Registrar receives course data from the Vice Chairs, scans the maps & certificates, maintains the databases of certified courses and measurers and, working with the USATF webmaster, uploads those databases and scanned maps to the USATF website. And, although the scanned certificates aren’t uploaded to the USATF site, the Registrar saves them on electronic media, as well as hard copies.

Note: The Registrar’s function is the last step for our check and balance system for looking over the Certificate/Map. It is most important that each certificate with its map meet the necessary requirements and the Registrar must make sure all is in order. The Registrar will contact the Regional Certifier for any corrections.
