GRAND PRIX ENTRY DETAILS

1. Cost is $5.00 for the entire series. This is above and beyond the race entry fees, and is aone-time fee paid to the MDRA. GP scoring will include only GP registrants who are regis-tered finishers of a GP race. No retroactive registration; runners registering after HumanRace, for example, will not be counted in Human Race’s GP results even if they ran it.

2. 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 uponthe percentile in which the runners finish such that the middle finisher will always score500 points. Points are awarded without regard to age or sex.

3. There are 14 GP races. A runner may compete in as few or as many of the races as theychoose; 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 oftheir scores included.

4. Scores are tallied within age division for each sex. Runners do not change age divisionsduring the year. A runner ‘s division is set according to his division on the day of his firstGP score. For example, a runner turning 50 on April 1 would be scored all year in the 45-49 bracket if she runs Human Race as a GP registrant, but would score all year in the 50-54 bracket if her first GP score is after April 1.

5. 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 haveat least two participants, and each participant must complete 2 races.

6. Grand Prix standing information will be included in RunMinnesota, and on the MDRAwebsite @ www.runmdra.org and e-mailed to all participants.

7.There will be awards for each age group winner, which will be presented at the MDRAannual party held in January 2012. A�special�award�to�anyone�who�participates�inall�14�races. In addition, anyone participating in at least 10 of the races will get a prize.

8. The dates listed above are the probable dates, but should be reconfirmed as race dayapproaches.

Nice Surprise I hope this email finds you well! I was surprised tosee my little boy’s face on the cover of the 2011 MDRA Calendar(He is in the orange shirt!). I was wondering when those will besent out?

I am not sure if you know his story or not. My son Maru (age6 in the photo) and his sister Melat age 3 are newly adoptedfrom Ethiopia. My husband and I traveled over the Christmasholiday to bring them home. When he walked into our house and

saw all the medals and marathon posters he figured out that we were runners and we fig-ured out that he loves to run too. In fact, he runs a 3:41 half mile! The cover photo was thefirst race he ever did in his whole life. Having a free kids race is one of the many things Iappreciate about MDRA.

Thanks!Kelly Tabara

Let us know what you think!


President(one year term, one person running for one openposition)

Michael Iserman1. I have been running and participating in organized road races for thelast ten plus years. Each year I run 10-15 races at distances ranging from10K up to full marathons. To date I have completed 27 marathonsincluding: Grandma’s Marathon (9), Twin Cities Marathon (8), Big SurInternational Marathon, Chicago Marathon, Las Vegas Marathon,Denver Marathon and others. I have also been a member of the MDRAsince 2002.

2. I am currently in my second year as a MDRA Board Member. I haveover 18 years of experience working in fitness and personal training.Since March 2004, I have been the Director of Personal Training for theYMCA’s of Greater St. Paul & the YMCA’s of Metropolitan Minneapolis -overseeing the personal training programs at the 22 branches of theYMCA throughout the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. For nearly 10years I presented nation-wide Personal Trainer certification workshopsfor the National Exercise Trainers Association (NETA). I have also partic-ipated as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on NETA’s Personal TrainingRole Delineation Committee and presently serve as the chair of NETA’s

Board of Certification. In addition, I have also been a SME for theAmerican Council on Exercise exam development team and I am current-ly serving a two-year term on ACE’s Fitness Industry Advisory Panel. Ihold professional certifications from the American College of SportsMedicine, the National Strength & Conditioning Association, theNational Academy of Sports Medicine, the American Council onExercise, and the YMCA of the USA. I am a graduate of the University ofMinnesota with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology.

3. As President, I would like to engage the Board and MDRA membersto become more actively involved in both the growth and impact ofMDRA. In particular I’d like to increase MDRA membership, increase par-ticipation in MDRA races and programs, and educate the running com-munity regarding the mission and initiatives of MDRA.

Vice-President(one year term, one person running for one openposition)

Norm Champ1. I ran in HS and got back into the sport in my thirties, but really begantaking it seriously (perhaps too seriously looking back) as a master. Ihave run 11 marathons (all except Walker; sub 3:00) as well as numer-ous 5K-25K distances. As most runners I’ve had numerous injuries andfinally had to face the fact that cartilage does not regenerate itself. Ioften ask, “If a runner doesn’t run can they still be considered a run-ner?” MDRA allows me to keep that question open and try to recapturethe camaraderie the sport offers.

2. I’m not sure what special qualifications I have other than I am com-mitted to giving back to the sport that provided me so much as an activeathlete. I am currently the Chair of the Race Committee and would liketo continue in that capacity, as well as volunteering for most of theMDRA Spring Races and Summer-Fall Races.

3. I would like to encourage all MDRA members to volunteer for atleast one race in 2011 (more is better!). You get to participate at a dif-ferent level, see the race from a different perspective and you don’thave to shower after!

The applicants were asked the fol-lowing questions:1. Please give a brief description of your running background.2. Qualifications: What special talents and experience can youcontribute to the board?

3. Goals and Plans: There are several committees that overseethe various activities of MDRA: Advocacy, Race, Promotions,Publications and Club Administration. How would you like todevote your time as a board member?


Treasurer(two year term, one person running for one openposition)

Jody Kobbervig1. I have been running ever since I was in high school, although it wasmostly to stay in shape for other sports. I started seriously running andtraining last summer when my twin sister and I decided to run the TC 10mile in October. Since then, I have been continuing to run and train forraces and I have realized how much I enjoy it! My sister and I ran ourfirst (and second) half marathon this past summer and hope to someday run a marathon!

2. I am a licensed CPA (inactive) in MN and worked in public accountingfor about 6 years.

3. I am extremely interested in working with non profits and am verypassionate about volunteering and community service.

Open Board Positions(two year term, six people running for six openpositions)

Darrell Christensen1. I began running shortly after retiring in 1996, beginningwith 5k’s in 1997 and 1998. I upgraded to the inaugural TC 10mile in 1999 and the TC marathon in 2000. That marathonexperience was such that it took a lot of convincing for me totry another, which took place in 2003 and qualified me forBoston. I have now run 16 marathons and numerous halves,10k’s, and other distances. I received the USATF runner of yearage award in 2007, 2008 and 2009. I’m hopeful of being ableto run for many more years since the sport has become myretirement passion.

2. My experience is primarily administrative. I am very dedi-cated and a responsible member of any organization I join. Ihave been a member of the Lifetime Fitness Run Club since itsinception and am probably the only one remaining. I have,hopefully, inspired several of our club runners to persevereand qualify for Boston during the last 2 years. My wife and Irecently had the opportunity to host the Japanese runner whoran the 2010 TC Marathon as part of the Bloomington SisterCity exchange program with Izumi City, Japan. She went homewith a copy of RunMinnesota.

3. I am currently a member of the race committee and verymuch enjoy volunteering at races that I am not participatingin. I will continue to be an advocate for running for all ages,but particularly for the many non-runners who have neverreally adopted an exercise program for fitness and their over-all health. It’s never too late to start getting fit and running isa very enjoyable and healthy one, no matter how old you are.MDRA is a really great organization and I promote it constant-ly to other runners I am in contact with.

Noelle Frost1. I started running when a friend asked me to run a 5K withher. I had to ask: "What, exactly, is a ‘K’?" Since then I’vetrained for and finished three marathons. I’ve also run out ofbreath, run into trouble, and occasionally I run late.

2. Over the past 12 years my day job has centered on manag-ing the release cycles and marketing of enterprise software.I’d like to volunteer my skills in project management and mar-keting towards promoting MDRA.

3. Runners of all paces who want to run long/run faster/runforever could benefit from MDRA’s community of athletes,which is an excellent source of information and encourage-ment. To that end, I’d like to generate increased awareness ofand membership in MDRA.

Mary Johnson1. Have run for 32 years; long distance the past 12 years. Havecompleted 3 marathons, more than a dozen half ’s and manyother races. I’m not fast but I always finish!

2. Have been an active MDRA member for 12 years. I havetrained with many of the spring and fall marathon trainingclasses. I love to run and I want to continue as long as I can.

3. My running goals are to keep moving as long as I can. Iwould enjoy being involved in promoting membership withMDRA. I have received much from MDRA, including trainingand friendships. I’d like more runner’s to be part of this organ-ization, embracing all ages, all paces.

Heather Kick-Abrahamson1. I ran cross-country and track in high school and at St. Cloud StateUniversity. I have completed 20 marathons and have competed in 20 ultramarathons including a 6 day race in Australia. I have coached beginningrunning, marathon training and ultra marathon training classes in the pastat the Savage Lifetime Fitness where I was the Running Club Coordinatorand Coach.2. Certified personal trainer- A.C.E. (American Council on Exercise) andN.A.S.M. (National Academy of Sports Medicine). Employed at FitnessTogether as Studio Manager and Personal Trainer. B.A.in Exercise Sciencefrom St. Cloud State University with a Sports Management Emphasis andAthletic Coaching Minor.

3. I would love to help others become involved in distance running. I amhappy to help any committee that needs the most help.

William Kullback 1. I began running as a means of exercise in 1997 just as I was turning38 and I’ve been training 40-50 miles per week and running marathonsever since. My first race was the 1998 Chicago Marathon and my mostrecent race, my 35th marathon, was the 2010 Twin Cities. My favoritemarathon is the Twin Cities because of the beautiful course and the gen-erally favorable weather conditions we tend to have in early October. Ialso enjoy running the Boston Marathon, not only because of the chal-lenging and historic race course, but also for the Sunday night carbo-load options available on the city’s north side!


2. I have over 25 years of experience in business with approximately 15years in financial leadership positions at a variety of organizations.These have ranged in both size and complexity including a four-personstart-up to a $700 million public corporation with international opera-tions. I have also served on several Boards throughout my careerincluding two nonprofit organizations, one of which had a budget in themillions of dollars. I believe that my previous business and board expe-rience, coupled with my love for our sport appropriately qualifies me fora position on the MDRA Board.

3. I am willing to participate in any committee in which there is a need,but I have a particular interest in Advocacy as I believe there is a lot to bedone with respect to the promotion of exercise, running in particular, withour school age population. In a recent study that I am familiar with, run-ning has been shown to be crucial to the way we think and feel In termsof our children, morning exercise/running prepares their brains to learn,improves mood and attention span, and even lowers stress and anxiety.As a member of the Advocacy committee I would be very interested inspearheading more community awareness around this opportunity.

Michael Nawrocki1. I started running in junior high and ran competitively in high schooland college. I have since worn many hats in the Minnesota runningscene: casual jogger, marathoner, member of the MDRA racing team(back when we had one), marathon class coach, spectator, and I ampresently a really out of shape guy who drives by people running onRiver Road when I am going to and from work.

2. I have served one term on the MDRA board and found it to be a veryrewarding experience. I have coached the MDRA marathon trainingclass five times. Despite my present lack of fitness, running has been ahuge part of my life.

3. If I am fortunate enough to be back on the board, my goals would be:

a. To revitalize the racing team and make all runners, of all ability, feelwelcome to join.

b. Breathe some life back into the blog. We can make that blog a stapleof the running community for runners of all ability.

c. Promote running for people of all abilities, from people running theirfirst 5k ever to our elite athletes at Team Minnesota. We do a great jobof this through Dome running, the affordable spring race series, themagazine, and the website. I would like to continue to fine tune andcarry on this vision.

New Member Renewal


One of the biggest changes in running gearthat has taken place since the founding ofMDRA is footwear. We’ve come a long waysince listening to the stories about how BillBowerman, legendary University of Oregontrack and field coach and Nike co-founder, cre-ated custom shoes for his athletes using awaffle iron.

Today, running footwear options are grow-ing as fast as the number of races. There areshoes for speed, shoes for training, shoes fordifferent surfaces and more. In the interest ofsimplifying your footwear selection, shoereviewers and manufacturers have catego-rized running shoes: motion control, stability,neutral-cushion and performance-training.

Still the selection of footwear for new andeven experienced runners can be confusing.People need help figuring out the category of

shoe to buy. Then there is all the hype from themanufacturers about which company makesthe best model. Plus, just about the time youfind the perfect shoe, the manufacturer eitherdiscontinues “your” model or makes some“improvement” you really didn’t want.

Many runners choose their footwear hop-ing it will enhance the running experience andimprove performance. When it comes to thesearch for your perfect footwear, you will mostlikely need to resort to some experimentationalong the way. Adding to the great footweardebate is the question of whether runningshoes are even necessary.

Fad or trendMention barefoot running or minimalistfootwear to anyone, and you are sure to get areaction. Sometimes the two are used inter-changeably, although those who run barefoot

will quickly point out the difference.Regardless, the “less is more” approach hastaken hold and is gaining traction. Some peo-ple attribute the recent interest in barefootrunning to the 2009 publication of Born toRun by Christopher McDougall.

In his book, McDougall sets out to discov-er the running secrets of the TarahumaraIndians of northern Mexico’s Copper Canyons.The Tarahumara cover long distances, from100 to 150 miles per week, wearing sandals ontheir feet. Further, McDougall goes on to saythe Tarahumara take a joyful approach to run-ning, often seen with smiles on their faceswhile covering those long distances.

While the latest in runningshoes may not be sandals, run-ners near and far have beenexperimenting with barefootand other minimalist footwear,even before the McDougallbook came out.

Dr. Paul Langer, DPM, aMinneapolis podiatrist and marathon runner,acknowledges the influence of McDougall’sbook on the barefoot and minimalist footwearapproach, particularly among the broaderrunning community. However, he says it maynot be as new as people think.

Langer notes that barefoot running hasbeen used as a tool by top coaches since thelate 1960s. In addition, gait research in the1970s documented the differences betweenrunning barefoot and with shoes. Theresearch has been readily available to thepublic, including shoe manufacturers.

“I think there is a misconception that wehave just discovered there might be somebenefits to barefoot and minimalist running,”says Langer.

Barefoot: Minnesota styleWhen Dean Laiti started running nearly 30years ago, it wasn’t easy to find good runningshoes. Back in the 80s, there weren’t as manychoices as there are today, especially for a guywho wears size six shoes.

Like many Minnesota kids, Laiti spent hischildhood summers running shoeless on thefarm where he grew up. It only seemed natu-ral, when Laiti started to run as an adult, to gowith what he knew best. Instead of looking forthe perfect pair of shoes that probably didn’texist for him, Laiti started to run. Barefoot.

These days, Laiti will wear racing flats for

The Great Footwear DebateIs less more as it pertains to running shoes?

Are your running shoes even necessary?


training runs, but says he runs races barefoot.Over time, he has collected a number of run-ning shoes. Some of them are still in goodshape. One pair in particular dates back about20 years. It’s what happens to your shoe col-lection when you don’t wear them much saysLaiti, referred to in local running circles as“the barefoot guy.”

Laiti, who is a Twin Cities Marathon char-ter member, has run all but one 26.2 mile racebarefoot. Laiti recalls the temperature being28 degrees at the start on that particular day,and he decided to wear a pair of shoes forwarmth. At about the halfway point, after theweather became more moderate, Laitiremoved his shoes and ran the rest of themarathon barefoot.

As a barefoot runner, Laiti gets more thanhis share of questions from other runners. Hehas never experienced any black toenails, and,at the end of his races, Laiti puts on shoeswhile other runners take their shoes off.

Laiti has been running barefoot for solong, he rarely thinks about it. “People say‘don’t step on rocks,’ but by the time you real-ize that you stepped on some, you are takinganother step,” says Laiti. “A lot of barefootrunning is mind over matter. Kind’ve likedoing a marathon.”

Another local runner and tri-athlete, NateTollefson, wanted to “revitalize” his running.The McDougall book got Tollefson thinkingabout the possibility of running either bare-foot or with minimalist footwear. He nowincorporates barefoot running into his regulartraining routine. Tollefson warms up barefootat the start of three of his five weekly runs tohelp him concentrate on running form. “Everynow and then, I run five miles barefoot, justbecause it feels so good,” says Tollefson.

Since going barefoot, Tollefson hasnoticed an increase in the strength of hislower legs and improvements in balance. Theonly downside he has experienced with bare-foot running is the flare up of an old Achillesinjury. Tollefson stresses the need to startvery slowly when making a change to bare-foot, minimalist running.

Tollefson does wear shoes or other mini-malist footwear, such as Vibram Fivefingers(VFFs), when the weather turns cold. Lately,Tollefson has been experimenting with someleather moccasins, which he describes asgood fitting slippers.

Among his friends, Tollefson stands out asthe only barefoot, minimalist runner. “Myfriends are waiting to see what happens tome,” says Tollefson. “If I get fast, maybe they

On the national scene, theworld has watched in amazement at

Olympians who have turned inimpressive barefoot perform-ances. In the 1960 summerOlympics held in Rome, AbebeBikila became a last minutereplacement for the Ethiopianteam. Upon his arrival in Rome,Bikila was not able to find

footwear that fit properly from theofficial shoe sponsor, so he decided

to run the marathon as he had trained.Barefoot.

Bikila won the marathon in 2:15:16.2 andbecame the first person from Africa to win anOlympic gold medal. It is probably no coinci-dence the Vibram model specificallydesigned for running is named “Bikila.”

South African born elite track runnerZola Budd Pieterse also made a barefootstatement on the national scene. In a threeyear period, Budd broke the world record inthe women’s 5,000 meters two times, aswell as being the women’s winner at theWorld Cross Country Championships.

At the 1984 Olympics, during the 3,000meter finals, American Mary Decker Slaneytripped while running in the pack, and thebarefoot Budd appeared to have beeninvolved at first, resulting in her disqualifi-cation. Within about an hour of the finish,after reviewing the videotape, the race offi-cials reversed their decision clearing Buddof any fault.

Former Olympian and medalist, NewZealander Lorraine Moller, shared high-lights about her childhood experience run-ning barefoot in Marathon & Beyond(“Footloose and Fancy Free,” May/June2010, p. 12-16). In her article, Moller high-lights some of the changes in runningfootwear over the years.

She describes the minimalist trend as“a pendulum swing back to the shoe thatserves the purpose for which it was firstneeded-a prophylactic for the foot againstmanmade surfaces.” That swing hasincreased the number of minimalistfootwear options available on the market.

Moller acknowledges that when enteringthe barefoot world, your feet, which havebeen accustomed to being supported, mustbe ready to take on the challenge. Perhaps itis simply to decide on the “ones that slowyou down the least.” Moller leaves the read-er with a bit of advice: “learn to use your feetwell, and resist being oversoled.” RM

will jump onboard.”

Minimalist approachOther runners have adopted a different style of barefoot run-ning by wearing minimalistfootwear. Briefly, minimal-ist footwear enables thewearer to simulate bare-foot running while pro-viding some protectionfor the feet.

Dr. Langer is one ofthose individuals, describ-ing himself as an “enthusiasticminimalist runner.” However, as apodiatrist, he recalls spending a good deal oftime in the operating room removing variousthings such as glass, needles and sticks fromfeet, and not just runners. Therefore, he doesnot go completely barefoot. Langer runs inVFFs and prefers grass or other natural sur-faces to rocky trails, concrete and asphalt.

He cautions individuals to take it slowlywhen transitioning to minimalist footwear, justas you would with any new approach to train-ing. Langer advises people to start out runningin minimalist footwear for five to 10 minutes andto make increases in 10 minute increments, witha rest day between the days you run.

The old adage, “listen to your body,”applies here. Runners should be aware of anytenderness in the calves or metatarsal bonesin their feet, paying close attention to any con-tinued discomfort.

Langer has followed his own advice andrecalls taking it slowly when he first started torun in his VFFs. On a six mile route near hishouse, Langer would carry his VFFs for twomiles while wearing traditional running shoes,change to his VFFs on a grassy stretch and goback to his shoes at the end of the run.

“I did this one or two times per week, grad-ually increasing my time in the Vibrams,” saysLanger. “Now I am able to run five to eightmiles with my Vibrams.”

Like Langer, local runner and marathonerDrew Plackner considers himself a minimalistrunner who wears VFFs. Plackner was recover-ing from plantar fasciitis when he read a quotefrom a top collegiate track coach about howgoing barefoot can strengthen the foot andreduce the risk of fascia problems. He likedsome of the other benefits being attributed tominimalist footwear as well, such as improve-ments to running posture and the strengthen-


At the start of the 2010 Twin CitiesMarathon (TCM) and 10 Mile races, runners lined upaccording to their designated corral in good spiritsand under perfect weather conditions. With brightblue skies, a slight breeze and temperatures around40 degrees, there was little doubt the day would

bring some fast times. While many people fidgeted to keep warm

before the start, it wasn’t long into the racebefore runners began to discard items alongthe course: garbage bags, gloves, throwaway shirts and even a few of those not so

inexpensive arm sleeves.Anything and everything can

happen on race day, even more so ifyou are among the elite runners.

This year’s races were no exception. Some localfavorites didn’t run as planned. Others, such asthe 2008 overall winner of TCM, FernandoCabada, who had expressed confidencebefore the race, came up short. He finishedthird by over one minute behind the leaders.

Both male and female marathon winnershad interesting stories to tell. Sergio Reyeswon the TCM and USA Men’s MarathonChampionship with a margin of only seven sec-onds over the next runner at 2:14:02, a person-al record. Reyes previously ran TCM five yearsago and finished in 59th place.

For the women, Buzunesh Deba won with apersonal record of 2:27:24, nearly eight min-

utes ahead of the second place runner. Deba holds the distinction ofbeing the only woman to win two Minnesota marathons in the sameyear. Her time at the 2010 Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth was2:31:36.

Local runner and marathon contender Josh Moen, of Team USAMinnesota, says he just had a bad running day at TCM, and he reallydoesn’t know why. Moen, who set a state record for 28-year-old menat the City of Lakes 25K in September, just a few weeks earlier, pulledout of TCM around mile 16. Moen says that he could have gutted itout to the finish. However, the decision to stop racing early allowshim to continue training for another fall race instead of taking timeoff to recover from the marathon.

Another local runner, Katie McGregor, who also trains with TeamUSA Minnesota, had a good day. McGregor logged her sixth victoryin the Twin Cities 10 Mile race with a 54:21, winning the USA Women’s10 Mile Championship.

For McGregor, the race was her third win of a national champi-onship in 2010 and the seventh of her career. Another Team USAMinnesota member, Meghan Armstrong, finished fourth in the 10Mile race with a personal best time of 55:20.

With all of the hoopla and focus on local favorites, few peoplenoticed the world famous runner in the 10 Mile race, unless theywere listening closely to the announcer at the finish line.

The former Olympian, Zola Budd, known for running barefoot inthe 80s and wearing shoes during the 10 Mile race, won the 40 to 44age group in 1:02:13. Where else can someone blend into the crowdwith shorts and a ponytail than in the middle of a Minnesota runningtradition?

Runners and spectators alike come to participate in orwatch the Twin Cities Marathon (TCM) weekend of races without givingmuch thought to what happens behind the scenes. It takes a lot oforganization and many volunteers to orchestrate all the events. Here’sa snapshot of just a few of those support activities that may not havebeen on your radar.

The Medical TentNo one expects to need the services of the medical staff during TCM.After all, most runners have already forged through several months oftraining and feel race ready. However, just knowing that medical help isavailable does lend some reassurance.

There are several medical facilities along the marathon course withthe major tent located at the finish area. Approximately 100 doctors vol-unteer for medical marathon day duty, along with other volunteers andmedical students.

According to Dr. William O. Roberts, TCM medical director, the 2010event was a pretty typical year as far as the number of runners visitingmedical tents. Roberts says that it is typical to treat 100 people in themedical tent at the finish along with another 100 who stop at the self-helparea outside to attend to issues that cause discomfort, such as blisters.

Inside the tent, medical staff attends to runners who have experi-enced exercise-associated collapse, most often with oral fluids and legelevation. Perhaps five runners each year require an IV.

New in 2010, participants in the marathon and 10 mile races wereinvited to complete an online questionnaire, creating a medical recordwith their most current and relevant data. In the past, athletes couldinclude this information using a form on the back of their bib numbers.

The new system, available through a partnership with Koozala,allowed TCM medical staff to access information, complying with gov-ernment security and privacy requirements. Roberts notes that thehealth information was handy with downed runners, who were notresponding well, and gave important information that helped toimprove care provided.

Backup TimersElectronic timing of races has been pretty well received by the runningcommunity. However, over the years, there have been a few glitcheswith those devices. Whether there are USA championships, prize moneyor Boston qualifying times on the line, it is reassuring to know there areback up systems in place.

Here is how the process worked October 3. Volunteers started a tim-ing device and a stopwatch at the start of three events: the USAWomen’s 10 Mile Championship, the 10 Mile race and the marathon. Thevolunteers then started their own race in a car to the finish area, whichwas no easy task given the local traffic jams on race day.

MDRA Office Manager Heidi Keller Miler was one of the timers forthe USA Women’s 10 Mile Championship. Miler says the volunteers“sprinted” from the start back to their cars, driving as fast as was legal-ly possible to the finish line. They made it with 15 minutes to spare.

A designated parking place near the finish helped. Miler jokingly said,“I saw a police escort for the United Van Lines vehicle bringing all the run-ner bags to the finish area, but thought we deserved one as well.”

The net result for runners was a minimum of three independent tim-ing results: electronic, a timing device and a stopwatch. All total therewere eight volunteers who helped with the backup timing, including a

few who were stationed the whole time at the finish.

Sweep VehicleWhether due to weather, injury, illness, pace or something else, therecomes a time when runners need to be aware of the marathon cut offtime. For TCM, it is six hours. This is a 13:44 minute per mile pace cor-responding with road closure permits issued by the Twin Cities to TCM.

Individuals within the vehicles that make up the 21 unit parade atthe end of the marathon refer to themselves as the “Conga Line.”This year, the first two vehicles, an SUV driven by volunteer GordyBraun and a golf cart with Twin Cities in Motion AdministrativeCoordinator Lindsey Altermatt, interacted with runners along thecourse, alerting them of the approaching cut off time, when thecourse would reopen to normal traffic.

Altermatt says that Braun is a nine year volunteer and is very goodat what he does. He lets runners, who wish to continue, know that theywill need to follow the sidewalk after the roads reopen to traffic and toexpect very little support. If someone appears to be struggling, Braunor Altermatt shows them the next vehicle, the sweep bus that takesrunners, who decide to leave the race, to the finish area.

Altermatt and Braun get a variety of reactions from runners. Someinsist on finishing and may be running for a charity. In other cases, arunner nearing the cut off may just need a little bit of encouragementto stay ahead of the sweep bus.

This year, there were approximately 100 runners who opted for aride on the bus. It was a fairly average number and far less than in2007, one of the hottest years, when 400 runners got on the bus.

As the Conga Line makes its way to the finish, the individuals inthe sweep completed other tasks, such as picking up equipment,supplies, mile markers, clocks, discarded items and trash.

And bringing up the rear are the Minneapolis and St. Paul policecars that signaled the end of the road closure and the start of normaltraffic until next year. RM

The 2000s was a decade of excellence. In the lastissue of RunMinnesota, I wrote about how the 90s were arguably theworst decade ever for U.S. distance running. Things came to a head atthe 2000 U.S. Olympic trials marathon, where for the first time ever, onlyone man and one woman qualified to compete in the Olympic Marathon,instead of the standard of three runners.

Granted, both the men’s and women’s trials were run under difficultweather conditions on challenging courses. But, this doesn’t change thefact that we weren’t able to produce a single runner that could run underthe “A” Olympic qualifying standard.

The powers that be must have seen the writing on the wall, evenbefore the trials were held, because steps were already being taken tomake U.S. distance running more competitive.

On March 13, 1999, Running USA, a non-profit organization for the run-ning industry, was launched. Its purpose was to improve the status of roadracing in the U.S. through collective marketing and promotions, servicesto runners and events and the development of American world class stars.One of the ways this was to be accomplished was through the creation ofelite distance training centers, such as Team USA California, now calledthe Mammoth Track Club, and Team USA Minnesota.

As these programs experienced success, other programs such as theBrooks-Hanson Distance Project, Oregon Track Club, Bay Area TrackClub, ZAP Fitness, McMillan Elite and Team Indiana Elite began poppingup throughout the country. National funding also became available fromthe USA Distance Project and the New York Road Runners. Just last year,seven training centers received over $262,000 in grants.

There’s little doubt that these distance training centers have helped

make U.S. distance runners more competitive in the 2000s than theywere in the 1990s. Olympic Marathon medals by Meb Kefezighi (silver)and Deena Kastor (bronze), both of the Mammoth Track Club, should beproof enough. If not, just looking at the Olympic rosters in 2004 and2008 shows that the majority of distance runners that made the U.S.team were part of one distance training center or another.

Locally, Team USA Minnesota celebrated its tenth anniversary thisyear. During this time, they developed an Olympian and 15 nationalchampions, and they’ve achieved 49 top three finishes in U.S.Championships and placed numerous athletes on World teams.

Although distance training centers were a new concept in 2001, teamfounder, Pat Goodwin said she “was confident this area had theresources, interest and athletic talent, not to mention an incredible dis-tance running history, to develop and sustain an effort like this.Fortunately, a lot of others in the running community felt the same way.”

While Pat may have been confident, inaugural team members, JasonLehmkuhle and Matt Gabrielson, teammates while at Drake, were not sosure. Lehmkuhle states, “Post-collegiate training centers were a noveltyand not really available to athletes who weren’t already internationalclass. I was an above average college runner, but not a national champi-on or perennial All-American.”

While Gabrielson had similar thoughts, he also knew this new conceptwould be a chance of a lifetime. “It was like a dream having someone sup-porting me as a professional runner. I knew it was now or never, and I did-n’t really have much to lose. Actually, I didn’t have anything to lose.”

Post Y2K Racing Scene by Chad Austin


In the first decade of the twenty-first century, an eraof tiny iPods, high-tech athletic wear and computer embedded shoes, one of the new trends in run-ning is, well, decidedly old fashioned. Trail running is one of hits of this decade’s running scene.

Since 2000, more runners are returning to their roots, seeking out natural trails rather thanpaved roads and sidewalks. This decade has also seen a big growth in new trail races, especial-ly ultramarathon races.

So, why are more runners trying trails? An informal survey of trail runners found reasons asvaried as trails themselves, such as breathtaking views, lack of cars and pavement, softer sur-faces, which prevent injuries and enable longer runs, a friendly, generous community of trailrunners and low-key races, which are typically less expensive than road races.

Other trail runners love trails because:

“People feel better when surrounded by the natural world. Trail running is also a full bodyexperience using your eyes, your balance, your hands, etc. and is a much closer experience toour ancestral past.” Jeffrey Swainhart

“The first question every road runner asks is ‘What is your pace?’ I hate that questionbecause it is not why I run. I have never been asked that question by a trail runner. Instead theconcern seems to be around enjoying the runs, the events and supporting everyone that isthere.” Chris Scotch

“Because on the trail, we aren’t running through what we have made (i.e., road/urban run-ning). We are running through what we ARE.” Bill Steinberg

“Because it is when I am running out in the woods where I find myself, and because I justcan’t stop smiling.” Valeria La Rosa

“For me, it gets me out of the mess. Cars, stoplights, smoke, smells, etc. and takes me to asilent, peaceful place. Second, as I aged, running a 10 minute mile on the road was hard on theego. On the trail, this does not matter as much. I get caught up in the peace and quiet andenjoying nature as opposed to counting houses or cracks in the pavement.” Londell Pease

More trail races, and more ultrasPerhaps this decade’s biggest trail running trend is ultras, especially 100 milers. TrailRunnermagazine counts nearly 70 hundred mile races nationwide, including two Minnesota centuryraces: the Superior Sawtooth 100 Mile and the Zumbro 100 Mile Endurance Run.

In 2009, for hardy trail runners craving herculean challenges, the Upper Midwest Trail Runners(UMTR) club launched a new series. The Gnarly Bandit 100 series features four regional 100 mileand two 100 kilometer trail races. UMTR also offers four other trail series, from the Fab 5 Fifties,for 50 kilometer and 50 mile races, to the multi distance Minnesota Trail Run Series, theBraveheart Snowshoe Series and the newest series launched this year, Minnesota Trail 5Ks.

Ultra runner Kurt Decker, manager of the Twin Cities Running Company store (TCRC) in EdenPrairie, sees the trail running surge in the shop and at races. To satisfy the growing trail trend,Decker said TCRC now stocks about 40 different trail shoes. “This year, we made a really con-certed effort to increase the number of trail shoes and equipment.”

As trails become trendier, more trail ultras are using lotteries to distribute entries. In 2003,when Decker ran Western States, considered the granddaddy of all trail ultras, he said some600 people had applied for the race’s coveted 275 bib numbers. Decker said by last year, some2,000 runners applied for Western States.

This winter, Decker will try the lottery again, although he knows his chances are slight. Yetlike many trail runners, Decker says he’s heartened by the surge in his sport. “I love to see peo-ple on the trails.” RM

Trail Running Goes Mainstream Great views, cheap races and gnarly bandits by Kate Havelin


Others felt the same way too as they madetheir way from places like Villanova (CarrieTollefson and Kristin Nicolini), Stanford (ChrisLundstrom), and Michigan (Katie McGregor) tobecome professional runners.

The financial support provided by thesedistance training centers has allowed runnersto stick with the sport longer, which helpsthem to reach their potential. “Before movingto Minneapolis, I figured I’d give running a cou-ple of years. At most, I thought I’d make itthrough the 2004 Olympic cycle,” saysLehmkuhle.

Without this support, he’d have neverstuck around long enough to finish fifth at the2008 Olympic trials marathon. And he certain-ly wouldn’t have his eye on training for the2012 Olympic Games.

Everyone associated with Team USAMinnesota finds it hard to believe that thegroup has already been around for 10 years.One thing they are aware of is that, during thistimeframe, they’ve help create a resurgence inU.S. distance running.

Lehmkuhle states, “You really can’t under-state the impact that Team USA Minnesota anda couple of other training groups that gotorganized around 2000 have had on U.S. dis-tance running. Every year more and more ofour good college runners are deciding to con-tinue to pursue the sport. The domestic racesare light years better than they were in the mid1990s, and we’re infinitely more competitiveinternationally.”

While Lehmkuhle has been around for all10 years, the group’s impact isn’t lost on rela-tive newcomer, Antonio Vega. Antonio says,“Right now I think it is great to be a part of theresurgence of American distance running.When my career is all said and done, I want tobe able to look back and say that I played asmall role in bringing American distance run-ning back to its former glory. That would be thebiggest accomplishment of all.”

U.S. distance running was at an all-timelow in the 1990s, but steps, like creating dis-tance training centers, have been taken toreturn the U.S. to the dominant force it was inthe 70s and 80s. While it may not quite be“dominant” yet, it’s definitely on the righttrack and showing no signs of slowing down.RM

The rise in popularity of running in this state over the past 50years can be traced to committed individuals who love the sport and work together to make thelocal running community what it is today.

While running in Minnesota has always been a social endeavor, the massive growth of newtwenty-first century technologies have transformed running in ways not witnessed in decadesbefore. Minnesota runners may pound the pavement locally, but they are now connected glob-ally by technologies that impact everything from an individual’s daily run to running eventsthemselves.

Technology’s impact can perhaps best be seen at the level of one’s daily run. Runners canplan their running routes on sites like www.mapmyrun.com, which lists over 11,000 routes ofvarying lengths in Minneapolis, Minnesota alone.

GPS technology is built into running watch-es, which also offer features such as heartrate, pace and speed. This data can be down-loaded and recorded onto any number ofcomputerized and online running logs.

Runners can also interact with others on aglobal scale through online running forumsand discussion groups. They can even jointogether online in web based runninggroups or find and connect with one anotherusing sites like www.meetup.com.

Races themselves have also changed due to technology. Race day is made simpler with webpages used to advertize events. Course maps are available as .pdf files, and directions to therace site can be attained via Google maps or similar sites. Registration for major runs is oftenhandled primarily online through web based registration sites.

Communication with race personnel is now handled largely through email. Minnesota racedirector Mary Anderson of Anderson Race Management (www.andersonraces.com) notes thatonline registration and web services have changed the way race directors do business.

“I used to spend hours answering phone calls or returning phone calls or mailing out regis-tration forms. Now that people can print out an entry form or find all of the race details online,I rarely get calls or have to mail out a form.”

Technology has also made race day easier with things such as chip timing and computergenerated results, which can be downloaded to the web. Such technology is not without itsshortcomings, however. Anderson notes that sometimes people expect results the minute theycross the finish line. Race directors still need to carefully monitor their events for any problemsthat may arise and verify results before they are made public.

And social media has transformed how people think about races. Amy Leger, Director ofCommunications at Team Ortho Foundation (www.teamortho.us), believes that social mediahas a huge impact on how her organization plans their events. The social networking siteFacebook allows Team Ortho to extend the race day experience for runners.

On Facebook, for instance, runners are able to communicate about everything from costumechoices for the fall Monster Dash races to nuts and bolts questions about race day itself. TeamOrtho can post videos or photos of the preparations for race day on Facebook. Participants arealso encouraged to share event photos via Facebook.

Blogs have also become popular during the past decade. From competitive runners torecreational ones, blogging offers a way for runners to reach out to others in a way that neverbefore existed.

ing of other muscles.Plackner also recommends taking it slow when you first start wear-

ing minimalist footwear. He believes the surfaces similar to what youcan find on football fields or golf courses offer the best option for mak-ing the transition. In addition, Plackner says it would be a good idea tostart using a minimalist shoe when you are not training for a race andwhen you can concentrate on adjusting to the new footwear.

Recently, Plackner has decreased the amount of time running withhis VFFs due to a calf strain he says may or may not be related to hisminimalist footwear. Even so, he remains enthusiastic about the bene-fits of his VFFs. Plackner’s fascia problems have not returned, and henow lands on his mid foot first instead of the heal.

“Of course, you don’t need minimalist shoes or to run barefoot tolearn to run this way,” says Plackner. “For me, I wouldn’t have adjustedas quickly if I had attempted this transition without minimalist shoes.”

Can less be more?According to Dr. Langer, the interest in barefoot, minimalist footwearcontinues to grow; albeit, there continues to be differing opinions. Thereare those who have tried the new approach and have gone back to theirtraditional running shoes. Others have taken a barefoot, minimalistapproach to all their footwear selections.

“As I see it, this is not a fad that will burn itself out,” says Langer. “It

may peak in the next year or two and then taper off, but it will remain asa permanent segment of running.”

Langer tells his patients who run that their running form will evolvenaturally as they get stronger. He cautions runners to go with instinctand be open to evaluating footwear options.

It is easy to stop by a running store and pick up a pair of your currentfavorite shoes or go online and place a quick order. Next time you needto replace your shoes, consider trying on several different models. Itcould be you are missing out on something new and better by not mak-ing some comparisons.

In September, author McDougall talked about his approach to run-ning barefoot at an event in Long Lake, Minnesota. After researching theTarahumara, McDougall became a runner. He believes good runningform is more important than footwear and easier on your legs.McDougall says he chooses his footwear only for protection and doeswear VFFs on some surfaces.

Athletes like Laiti could not have predicted his decision to run bare-foot would be at the center of the barefoot, minimalist footwear versustraditional running shoe debate. Within the last several years, therehave been numerous articles, blogs and other discussion forums devot-ed to the pros and cons of barefoot running. The question of whetherless is more may take a very long time to be resolved.

At the 2010 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, Laiti wore VibramFivefingers due to the cool temperatures.

www.cnaustin.blogspot.com, to chronicle his running experience. Hefinds that blogging is not only a good way to express his thoughts andfeelings about training, but also helps him to connect with others whocan relate to what he is going through and offer advice and support.

The Minnesota Distance Running Association (MDRA) started a blogin 2007, found at www.runminnesota.blogspot.com. The MDRA blogcontains many interesting posts, including information about MDRAprograms, race reports, local and national news of interest and thoughtsand reflections on running.

New technology has also had an impact in the area of charity run-ning. Steve Skinner, of the American Cancer Society (www.acsdetermi-nation. org), notes that DetermiNation, American Cancer Society’s“nation of athletes” determined to end cancer, has grown to 12,000 par-ticipants and is the fastest growing program in the American CancerSociety today. He credits some of this with the way in which charityfundraising has been transformed by web based technology.

In order to put as much money toward curing cancer as possible, theAmerican Cancer Society has found it helpful to use the internet toadvertize as well as recruit and support participants.

When people join the DetermiNation program they are given theirown personal website for fundraising. The website even allows themto blog about their own cancer journey and send emails to friends.

There is also a link to connect with others via Facebook. Web technol-ogy also allows the American Cancer Society to communicate withtheir athletes and offer encouragement and support while they partic-ipate in the program.

Technology has had a big impact on running during the past decadein ways that are arguably both good and bad. What has not changedduring this time, however, is that 50 years since the birth of MDRA, run-ning is still alive and well in Minnesota.

On a daily basis, Minnesota runners still lace up their shoes and trainin all types of weather. They still have a wide variety of great events to par-ticipate in and connect with others who love the sport. They still enjoy run-ning and benefit from the many ways it improves overall health and well-ness. This has contributed to Minnesota being regarded as one of thefittest states in the nation and one of best places to run. In the twenty-firstcentury, we can be proud of all that we have accomplished during the past50 years and look with excitement at all that is to come. RM

Secretary’s Report: Norm Champ moved, and Melissa sec-

onded a motion to accept the August minutes.

Treasurer’s Report: Lori was absent, but provided a reportstating that we had a negative cash flow for the month of

August of -#3,441.75, though year to date we remain ahead

of budget. Receipts in August were a total of $22,091.26.

Our total liabilities and equity are $23,324.70.

Office Manager’s Report: Heidi was absent, but provideda report stating that membership has continued its grad-

ual decline. She is seeking volunteers to work the MDRA

booth at the TCM Expo.

Committee Reports:

Advocacy Committee: No new business

Club Administration: This group will meet prior to the

October 11 board meeting. We need to nominate a president

and treasurer for next year.

Programs Committee: The 5K/10K class is going well

although the numbers are lower than we had hoped. The

fall marathon class is also going well, with the marathon

only three weeks away. Mike Nawrocki expressed the

need for more partnerships with groups like ACS.

Promotions Committee: There is an excellent Vimeo of the

Victory 10K on our website. Planning for the 50th anniver-

sary party is continuing. Heidi is researching Hamline as a

venue. The date will be March 19, 2011. Various

Minnesota athletes have been suggested as possible

speakers. Diana Pierce will emcee.

Publications Committee: The September issue of

RunMinnesota will be out later this month.

Race Committee: This committee will also meet prior to the

October 11 meeting. The Como Relays are doing well. The

MDRA 15K and 5K were well attended. Melissa reported

that there were more USATF team circuit runners at the 15K.

There were almost 700 finishers at the Victory races, though

City of Lakes was down. That may be due to its timing three

weeks before the marathon.

USATF Report: Melissa reported that the USATF annual

meeting was held on September 12. The officers elected for

the coming year are: president, Rick Recker, vice president,

Ed Whetham, secretary, Mark Krug, and treasurer, Chris

Kartschoke. The 2010 cross country circuit races have been

chosen. Team USA Minnesota's runners Josh Moen and

Michelle Frey won titles at City of Lakes. Both set single age

records. Drug testing at masters' events will begin soon.

Antonio Vega was chosen athlete of the month for his sec-

ond place finish in the USA men's 10 mile championship.

New Business: No new business.

Old Business: No old business

Meeting adjourned. RM

August Board ofDirectors MeetingAugust�9,�2010Members Present: : Paul Arneberg, Kathy Benhardus,Debbie Bohmann, Nathan Campeau, Norm Champ, Darrell

Christensen, Mary Johnson, Bill Knight, Bob Lindsey, Gary

Nathan, Andrew Plackner, Kirk Walztoni, Melissa Wieczorek

Guests Present: Heidi Keller Miler, office manager

Members Absent: Mike Iserman, Mike Nawrocki, Lori

Anne Peterson, Lisa Radzak

Secretary’s Report: Nathan Campeau moved, and Bob

Lindsay seconded a motion to accept the July minutes. The

motion carried.

Treasurer’s Report:Lori was absent, but provided areport stating that we had a positive cash flow for the

month of July of $10,585.93 after all income and expens-

es. The MDRA bank balance was $30,239.18 as of July 31,

2010.

Office Manager’s Report: Heidi pointed out the cost ofmailing out the annuals every year, particularly the ones

that are sent out individually after the first of the year and

don't receive bulk rate. We discussed making them avail-

able for pick up in the running stores. The member could

just show their membership card or some other proof.

Further discussion is needed on this topic. She is looking

for volunteers for the MDRA 15K August 15, the Victory

races on September 6, and City of Lakes 25K, September

12. Jeff Winter also made a plea for COL volunteers.

Committee Reports:

Advocacy Committee: Nathan is working on compiling the

results of his runner survey.

Club Administration: We are in need of a new treasurer.

We have an outside firm doing taxes and payroll, so we

just need someone to compile the monthly reports and

write checks. We also need to form a nominating commit-

tee for the upcoming elections. This committee should

consist of one past president, two directors, and two

members at large. There was also some discussion of

rewriting the ballots so that members could simply vote

in person at the annual meeting. Discussion on that topic

was tabled for now.

Programs Committee: We had to cancel the 10 mile training

program due to the lack of participants. There are currently

17 people signed up for the 5K/10K class. The fall marathon

class has over 100. Nathan will mention the 5K/10K class in

the blog.

Promotions Committee: The 50th anniversary party plan-

ning committee will meet after this. See note at the end of

these minutes for a report. Perhaps a new bumper sticker

contest?

Publications Committee: The July issue of RunMinnesota

will be out in early August. The main themes are the 80’s

decade and Grandma’s Marathon. Hopes are high that the

September issue will come out on time.

Race Committee: Norm reported $100.00 in equipment

rental income. The MDRA 15K/5K is much larger this year.

Barb Leininger is interested in taking over from Lowell Schow,

but will need to rent storage space. The estimate is that it will

cost about $1000.00 per year to rent. In Grand Prix news, they

are tentatively thinking of adding the Brian Kraft 5K and the

Rice Street mile while dropping the TCM mile. Como Relays

started last Wednesday with 66 teams. Upcoming MDRA

races include the 15K, the Victory races, and City of Lakes.

USATF Report: No report.

New Business: No new business.

Old Business: No old business.

Meeting adjourned.

Note: Following the board meeting, there was a brief dis-

cussion of the 50th anniversary party. Dates chosen were

Saturday, March 12 or 19, 2011. We hope to make a final

decision soon. Venues mentioned included Calhoun

Beach Club, Braemar, Bandanna Square, the Theodore

Wirth building, Minnetonka Community Center, and

Wooddale Church. We are suggesting a ticket price of

$20.00 to $25.00, and speakers such as Dick Beardsley,

Garry Bjorklund, Carrie Tollefson, or others. Heidi has

since contacted Beardsley. Diana Pierce is willing to

emcee. We could also invite Team Minnesota athletes. We

thought we would have hearty hors d'oeuvres catered and

a cash bar, but not a meal. A silent auction, a slide show,

a display of old magazines and shirts, and a deejay play-

ing oldies were suggested, but no decisions made yet.

Attendees would also receive some sort of T-shirt, wind

shirt, hat, pin, or whatever with the 50th anniversary logo

on it. Discussion to continue.
