Your Favorite Races? MDRA Wants to Know

The Minnesota Distance Running Association wants to know your favorite races of 2010.

In an on-line survey, HERE, the state's largest runner's organization is asking race participants to name their favorite events by distance and type -- from 5K's to ultra-marathons.

The results will be put to use in a feature story in the January issue of MDRA's RunMinnesota magazine.

Subscriptions to the magazine come as a perk of membership in MDRA. You can join MDRA HERE.
