USATF announced earlier in the week that something called USATF.TV was launching this week in Des Moines, Iowa to produce 50 hours of live streaming video of the national championships.
Well that’s a coup for Eugene-based RunnerSpace, the web company founded by Ross Krempley.
The RunnerSpace gang — Kevin Ullman, Chris Nickinson, Adam Schneider, Matt Scherer, Ian Terpin, Matt Barnhart, Steve Underwood (Dyestat) — have been covering track and running events for years.
But this is as ambitious as it gets and in partnering with USATF they have a big opportunity to generate exposure for a sport that gets limited air time on network television. USATF.TV is going to have full coverage of events like the 10,000 meters, field events, and even racewalk, which often get short shrift.
Here is this week’s webcast/broadcast schedule:
