Your MDRA membership will run for one full year from when you sign up. Everyone who signs up now will receive the 2008 Running Minnesota Annual Calendar when it is due out in December. This resource guide lists over 300 races and also offers a detailed training log and calendar. You will also receive our bi-monthly magazine, RunMinnesota and discounts at the locally owned running stores when you join along with three free, low key races this spring.

Your membership helps provide the following services:

• Dome Running, turns the Metrodome into the place to be twice a week! (see Programs)
• Good race management throughout Minnesota. The MDRA provides many important services to Minnesota racing. We publish a magazine for race directors, sponsor training sessions and provide race equipment. This is perhaps the most important benefit to all of us, the tradition of well run races in Minnesota.
• Marathon and 5K/10K training programs for beginners and advanced runners. (see Programs)

If you add it all up, you'll discover that you get more than $40 worth of benefits from a $25 membership fee.

To become a member you can sign up now by printing the MDRA Membership Form and follow the directions as stated on the form or use online registration.
