Cover photo/Editor's Note: This is my farewell edition of the MDRA Annual Calendar. I chose the cover photo because I love the way it shows the pure joy of running. It's what keeps me going and my wish for you is that all your runs be fun! Photo is from the Whipper Snapper Races, Jeff Frey & Associates photo, courtesy of Grandma's Marathon.

MDRA 2015 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. The Grand Prix application fee of $5 is above and beyond the race entry fees. Grand Prix is open to MDRA members only. 2. Scoring will include only GP registrants who are registered finishers of a GP race. No retroactive registration; runners registering after O'Gara's Irish Run, for example, will not be counted in O'Gara's Irish Run GP results even if they ran it. 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 14 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 Securian 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 order for any individual to win an age group, they must run in at least 2 races. 7. There will be awards for each age group winner, which will be presented at the MDRA annual party held in January 2016. A special award will go to anyone who participates in all 14 races. Anyone participating in at least 10 of the races will get a prize. 8. Questions about Grand Prix scoring should be directed to Hal Gensler @ hgensler@lblco.com. Results are updated at www.runmdra.org. 9. Please verify all race dates as the race dates approach.
