About Just Racing:

Just Racing (uk) was formed in 2000 as a sports event management company.  Our early philosophy was really simple as we wanted to organise events that we would want to take part in ourselves.  Whilst much has changed since the early days, this basic principle hasn't and we continue to organise events that we want to take part in.  Throughout the last 10 years we have continued to develop our portfolio of events.  And it is equally gratifying to see the same individuals year after year as it is to welcome new ones to the Just Racing experience.

In 2010 we are proud to be delivering a multi-terrain series of running events, pool based triathlons, open water based triathlons, cyclosportives, European and World qualifying events, British Grand Prix events and giving many individuals their first experience of particpating in a sporting event.

It is our event day team (that can comprise over 100 individuals) that deliver our events and really make them come alive.  But before getting to this stage, there is much that happens behind the scenes prior to any event taking place.  We would like to introduce you to a few of that team who do a lot of that behind the scenes work.

Alan Rose.  The founder and Managing Director of Just Racing (uk), you will find him at all of the events, normally as event director, but often as race commentator and coffee provide.  Alan has a degree in Sports Science, is an ex-Physical Education Teacher and has served in the Royal Navy.

Julie Lancaster (cocko).  If anything goes wrong, Julie gets the blame.  Office manager and scapegoat, you'll tend to find cocko looking after registration at most events and making lots of coffee in the office.  In previous jobs, cocko has travelled the world as a PA.  Now she has Sunday mornings in fields across the East Midlands.

Ruth Wildman (struth).  You could see struth anywhere in 2010.  Setting up, stripping down, bike director, run director, swim director or event director.  She is one of the team who has probably done just about all of the jobs that need doing at some point over the last 10 years.  She is also a practising nurse so brings a nice calming influence on event day.

Lucy Rose.  Lucy is the proverbial rubber cork.  Fills gaps as they appear on race day and is only allowed in the office when Alan is out.  Although a runner, Luce will be taking on her first Ironman event in 2010!   

Cath Weiss (nickname pending).  Cath raced our first ever triathlon in 2001 and has helped us out on and off over the years.  In 2010 Cath will be joining us as the newest member of the team and will be working on some very exciting new projects.  She brings a great deal of marketing experience to the team and is currently the Womens 25 and 50m Welsh National Time Trial Champion.

As with our events, we welcome individuals of all experiences to join our events team on race day - just drop us an email or give us a call (events@justracinguk.com / 01933 663 516) and we'll do the rest.
