REMEMBERING Steve Maupin 1951-2020

BY KATHY LARSEN

You have probably seen Steve at every MDRA race you’ve ever raced. Steve loved to run. He was an accomplished runner and participated in many marathons including Grandma’s, Twin Cities and the Boston Marathon, and many other running events. As an active member of the MDRA, he competed in all the Grand Prix races year after year. His love for running started when he was a kid and he told his mom that he just liked to run.

Steve grew up in Deephaven, Minn. and graduated from Minnetonka High in 1969, where he ran cross country and track. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from St. Thomas University.

Steve struggled with frontotemporal degeneration for a number of years and passed away on April 19, 2020. He is survived by his wife, two children, two brothers and one sister and many nieces and nephews; and the many friends he made over his lifetime.
