About Tuxedo Brothers

Tuxedo Brothers is an events management company owned and operated by brothers, Don and Phil Carr. Don is president and serves as race director at all Tuxedo Brothers events, and Phil coordinates scoring and timing. Heather Ladd serves as the office manager and promotions director. Since 1984, Tuxedo Brothers has managed more than 1,000 events, most benefiting service and charitable organizations. In the early days, the brothers wore tuxedos to the events, the idea being to add a touch of class. After a few events, however, the dress changed to sports attire, but the name, Tuxedo Brothers, remained.

Event Management

Tuxedo Brothers manages a broad range of activities in the fitness world. In any one year, Tuxedo Brothers manages such diverse events as walking, running, triathlons, biathlons, mini-marathons, and stair climbs. Tuxedo Brothers can handle the needs of both small (300 people) and large (35,000 people) events. Recognizing early on that people go to events to have fun in a healthy atmosphere and to support a worthy cause, Tuxedo Brothers pays close attention to details. Using the most up-to-date timing equipment, Tuxedo Brothers delivers results to the participants almost immediately after the event is finished. These results are also posted on the website. With more than 26 years experience, Tuxedo Brothers has learned what is important to make a successful event. The company motto is appropriate: Event Management with Style.
