YellowJacket Racing can be your full service race management and promotions company focused on executing your event at the highest level. We are very flexible with our services and can do as little or as much as needed to make sure your event is the very best it can be for your organization and community.
While we provide timing and equipment services, at YellowJacket we are first and foremost event producers. With over 30 of our own events, we have a thorough understanding of the subtleties of putting on a good race, from initial planning to completion. It doesn’t matter to us if we are the owner of the event, the hired director, or just timing because we provide the same commitment to quality so your participants, spectators, volunteers and sponsors feel as though they were a part of something special and unique.
