Organizing Races/Events?

bstamps12

Does anyone have experience organizing charity races (or other athletic events)? I am organizing a short 2 mile fun run/walk in April, which is something I have always wanted to do, but I don't really have others in my group who can provide any guidance...we are all new to this! We are expecting less than 100 people. Also, I live in a really small town so we don't have any running stores or running clubs, etc. that would have experience and be able to help. Thanks in advance for any input!!!
