ARRMS Annual Membership Meeting

On January 12, Chevron Houston Marathon Medical Director John Cianca, MD, became the American Road Race Medical Society (ARRMS) President at its annual membership meeting in Houston, TX.

Attendees of the meeting heard Chicago Marathon Race Director George Chiampas, MD, provide an insightful and clarifying account of the 2007 Chicago Marathon and Drs.

Upcoming annual meetings will be hosted in the city of the sitting president and informal meetings will be held each year in conjunction with the American College of Sports Medicine’s annual meeting and a fall marathon.
