Summer Road Races

Hello,

There are plenty of road races to choose from throughout the summer months.

Here is a great calendar from MDRA (Minnesota Distance Running Association) that you can use to search registered races in and around Minnesota: http://www.raceberryjam.com/mdraschedule.php3

I encourage everyone to get out and experience road racing! It can be a great gauge of how your training is going and they are LOTS of fun with fans, food, t-shirts, and competition at all levels and ages.

I have listed a few races that are either favorites of mine or races recommended to me over the years.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse
