It will be a 5K / 1 mile race. So far I have ordered race number bibs, some giveaways and placed it on a couple of calendars. I need a starting pistol, will have online and mail in registration. There is a lot to do, but please help by giving your suggestions and essential tips. Thanks!
(It will be in Northeast Ohio)

Talk to the city, they usually require a permit, along with hiring some of their police to control traffic.
Find out exactly what you must have to do the race.
Did you order awards?
Someone in your area starts races, usually track meets for schools they will have a gun and blanks.
Who is doing the finish line and results?
You need drinks for the runners.
if this is a charity run, and sometimes not, you can get local business to provide snacks and drinks.
They will set up booths to hawk their business.
You need mile markers and marshall to monitor the course.
Someone to make sure no one gets off course.
Banners to mark the start and finish.
One of the local running stores should help you with registration and handing out packets, it gets people into their store.
Talk to the city about what you must have for the race you don't want any last minute problems when you are trying to start the race.
p.s. to the blue monk, do you eat your beagles raw, or do you cook them and is that what people call hot dogs?

awards for top 3 people and then top 3 people in age group, for men and women, or not depending how many people you get. another thing i love at the end of races is food! beagles, fruit, and granola bars are good!

Make sure you order t-shirts, and get some sponsors. You could also get an official timer, but most importantly get the word out about your event.
