The road race industry has experienced an explosion in growth in recent years.

Approximately 650 marathons, 1200 half marathons, and 2500 10K races take place annually in the U.S. alone – statistics that do not even include the number of 5Ks, triathlons, all terrain races, and charity walks. Globally the numbers continue to increase at a staggering rate.

​

This growth, along with escalating concerns surrounding mass shootings and terrorist attacks at large-scale events, bring with it a heightened awareness and need for runner safety and emergency preparedness.
