Dear Friends This is the 25th MDRA Annual Calendar that I have played a small part in completing and delivering to MDRA members. I generally, have left all of the details to the experts in graphic design and data collection. During that time I have worked with three very diligent editors, Anne Rykken, Barb Leininger and this year’s book editor Kelli Burrows. These professionals did a great job and left me to the minor details like ordering envelopes, making sure the MDRA information was correct and badgering race directors to get their info in ASAP! I know it is many of our members favorite MDRA membership benefit. Even in this day and age of online calendars and plethora of race sources it is great to know the book is still a valued commodity. I know I use mine everyday! It has been fun to play a small part in the making of this book over the years. I hope all of you continue to enjoy it and support MDRA for many years to come. Sincerely, Heidi Miler MDRA Office Manager 1991- 2015

MDRA 2016 GRAND PRIX Join the MDRA Grand Prix - Compete in a great series of races against others in your age group for fun and fame!
How it works
1. Cost is $5.00 for the entire series. This is above and beyond the race entry fees, and is a one-time fee paid to the MDRA. GP scoring will include only GP registrants who are registered finishers of a GP race. No retroactive registration; runners registering after the Get In Gear, for example, will not be counted in Get In Gear GP results even if they ran it. 2. Entrants must be MDRA members. 3. Runners score according to their finish place out of all GP registered finishers each race. The first GP runner in each race will score 1,000 points. All others will score based upon the percentile in which the runners finish such that the middle finisher will always score 500 points. Points are awarded without regard to age or sex. In scoring races we use USATF rules (thus gun time is used rather than chip time) 4. There are 13 GP races. A runner may compete in as few or as many of the races as they choose; however, results from only 10 races will count. If a runner runs more than 10 races, only their 10 highest scores will count. Anyone running in 10 or fewer races will have all of their scores included. 5. Scores are tallied within age division for each sex. Runners do not change age divisions during the year. A runner’s division is set according to his division on the day of his first GP score. For example, a runner turning 50 on April 1 would be scored all year in the 45-49 bracket if she runs Irish Run Saint Paul as a GP registrant, but would score all year in the 50-54 bracket if her first GP score is after April 1. 6. Age groups for both male and females are 0-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85+. In order for an age group to exist, it must have at least two participants, and each participant must complete 2 races. In addition, in order for an individual to win an age group they must run in at least 2 races. 7. Grand Prix standing information will be on the MDRA website @ runmdra. org, and e-mailed to all participants. 8. There will be awards for each age group winner, which will be presented at the MDRA annual party held in January 2017. Also, MDRA will present a special award to anyone who participates in all 13 races. In addition, anyone participating in at least 10 of the races will get a prize. 9. The dates listed above are the probable dates, but should be reconfirmed as race day approaches.
