The Manitoba Runners’ Association is offering something NEW and it’s FREE for MRA members!
A series of three virtual warm up runs designed to give you the convenience of running where you are, while also participating in a competition with other runners. Each warm up run is 5k in distance and must be completed in a specific time frame (see below).
Feedback will include your pace as you run as well as your virtual position in the race. Find out how you compare to others getting ready for a race and set your own individual benchmark to aid in your training. Registration is easy and all you need is a smartphone to participate!
Just go to https://www.racerunner.com/MRA-Series/ and follow the instructions.
Remember, this is FREE for current MRA Members, however members of the public can join in for a small donation. Upon registering you will receive an e-mail with your Race bib and instructions of how to download the app to your smart phone. You can register for each warm up race individually ($10) or pay a reduced rate ($20) to enter the whole series of three warm up races.
