MRA Road Runner of the Year

Criteria:

• The MRA Road Runner of the Year Award is awarded in the fall at the annual Awards Celebration. There are four categories: Male, Female, Masters Male and Masters Female. Masters is considered to be 40 years of age & up. The recipient must be an MRA member for the year of the award.
• The intention of this award is to recognize the fastest runners over 5 road racing distances: 5k, 10k, 10 mile, Half Marathon & Full Marathon. The winner must compete in a minimum of 3 distances, with the Half or Full Marathon being one of those distances.
• In October, the Executive Director will compile a short list of the fastest MRA runners, both male and female, from the Manitoba Road Race Rankings. This list will be distributed to the MRA Board of Directors prior to the November meeting for their review, and will be posted on the MRA website.
• A vote will be held at the November Board Meeting to determine the winners, which will be published on the Hall of Fame page of the MRA website.
• Because this award is based entirely on race times, it is possible for a runner to win the award more than once.
