Have a video camera? Enjoy running and think filming race courses may be interesting? Do you have contacts in the running industry that may be interested in having a course filmed? We are looking for amateur or professional videographers to film road races across the country.
In 2014 we would like to increase our course library and would like your help to do it. If you have a video camera and are interested contact me at the email below and I can explain the process. We are also looking to add race videos that have already been filmed. Take a look at the options below.
► Want to get paid to film courses for VTR? Film one race in your area and send to us for approval to ensure video quality/technique will work. Once that is completed we will market our product in your area and let you know when we need an event filmed. We will pay you to film courses in your area!
► Are you a race director that has the ability to film your course? Send us the video and we will take care of the editing for a small fee. You can then use that video to promote your event and add to your website. We will also add it to the VTR course library at no additional cost.
► Already have a course video? Send us your video and we will edit and create a voiceover for your event. We will then add it to the VTR library. This is a great way to showcase your event, increase searchability, and drive traffic to your event.
► Just want to film races for fun? Send me a course video and we will add it to our website if possible. We are always looking to add interesting races/videos to our website.
► Race related videos? In addition to filming courses we are also accepting live race videos for our website. If you have some interesting live video from your event let me know and we can add it to our live video section.
Contact me for more information. You will not make millions of dollars taking video of race courses for View The Race but if you are interested in some extra income and would be willing to market our product to race directors in your area let me know.
Many of us attend many events throughout the year…Why not shoot some video before your next race? Remember you are providing a service to your fellow runners allowing more people to …View The Race Before You Do The Race!
May 1st is the one year anniversary of View The Race! For the past year we have created race course videos with the goal of allowing athletes to "View The Race Before You Do The Race!"....As we celebrate our first year in business I am proud to say we have created 136 course videos representing 9 states and Canada. It has been a busy and rewarding year, and we have big plans to continue to expand our course video library in year two.
We have also attempted to inform/entertain our fan base with 61 blog posts over the past year. Subject matter has been varied and has covered juice fasting, weight loss, race reports, triathlon swim anxiety, and running tips just to name a few. We will continue to provide information through blog posts. I hope you have found a few of them informative or possibly just made you laugh or shake your head at some of the crazy ideas we discuss.
Special thanks to all of our 1000+ fans on Facebook, John Childs (MA RRCA State Rep), Claire Cloutier (Double C Racing), and some big events that really supported us in 2012....Vermont City Marathon, Manchester City Marathon, Maine Marathon, Feaster Five, Conquer the Bridge, Wallis Sands Half Marathon, Westford Road Race, and Red Rock Canyon Half Marathon. (just to name a few...we have had a ton of support)
Maybe you have seen one of our videos but are not aware of everything View The Race offers. We currently offer the below services to race directors to improve the quality of their event:
Course Videos
We film road races, triathlons, cycling races, and swim events of all distances from 5ks to full Ironman events.
All of our videos include: - high quality video of race course - course narration describing race and course by racing expert - background music - video page with race information and elevation chart - free promotion of your race on View The Race calendar/website
How much does this cost? Due to the wide variety of events we film we do not have set prices. Our pricing is based on the length of race, location, and course requirements. Our prices range from as low as $150 (local 5k/5mile) to as much as $800+(long distance events).

Race Websites
View The Race also designs websites. Our websites are geared to providing athletes all of the information they need on race day. I have seen thousands of race websites and nothing is more depressing than being unable to find important info about your upcoming event. We ensure this doesn't happen by providing all of our race directors a questionnaire with all of the possible info needed for their event. We ask the right questions to ensure athletes will be provided with the right information.
Our high quality race websites are designed by our Creative Director, Jerry Paquette, who has over 20 years of experience designing websites. (including the VTR website) His extensive experience allows him to create a unique feel to every website.
After speaking with race directors we realized that many race directors have limited budgets and do not have the expertise to manage their race website. Due to this fact all VTR websites include complete website management as part of the sale price. After purchasing the website, race directors supply us with all of the information needed to create the website by filling out the VTR Website Data Sheet. After the new website is created all future changes are communicated by sending in an updated VTR Website Data Sheet or simply by sending us an email with the needed update/change.
Never again as a RD will you have to worry about finding someone to update your website or figure out how to make time to update your website. This allows Race Directors to do what they do best....Manage the Race! Let us take care of your website!
Our websites cost $600 and include hosting and a free domain name. Want to see a couple of examples?
VTR also offers race registration. Now we know there are a lot of companies that offer this service. We are not the biggest company or the most experienced, but if you are looking for a company that can handle your registration needs and will respond promptly to your concerns/questions then consider using VTR as your registration provider. To help promote our new service we are offering our website at the low price of $149 if you use us as your registration provider.
