Boston Marathon Race Director Dave McGillivray will run and speak at the Life Time Fitness Crosstown in Eden Prairie on Thursday.
He'll participate in a run at 5:30 p.m. and give a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Both events are open to the public.
McGillivray (pictured), who manages more than 30 major road races and charitable events via his company, Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises, has been the technical director and race director at the BAA Boston Marathon since the 1980s.
Aside from being a respected event director -- McGillivray is a former Road Race Management, Inc. Race Director of the Year and member of Running USA’s Hall of Champions -- he has completed a number of long-distance charity runs, including one from Medford, Oregon to his hometown of Medford, Massachusetts.
There's a great Runner's World profile of McGillivray by Sports Illustrated columnist (and Minnesota native) Steve Rushin, HERE.

Thursday's event is free and open to both Lifetime Fitness members and non-members. Space for this presentation is limited. If you plan to attend, please email PMiller [at] lifetimefitness [dot] com.
