The MDRA's Best of 2014 Contest

It's that time of year when people look back over the past 365 days.  This year the MDRA is reliving the best performancess of 2014 by Minnesota runners.  Why?  The simplest reason is that there is a lot of running talent in the State.  So, there's a lot to celebrate.  From now until the end of the month the MDRA will post a question on their Facebook page each day.  They will select two performances during the year and ask people to vote on which one is the best.  Today's events involve an ultra runner and a track runner. .  To participate go to the MDRA Facebook page HERE and add your vote.
