Minnesota Running Event Schedule

Sorry I haven't updated the list in such a long time. If a race listing was sent to me and didn't make it on the page I apologize. The life of a graduate student is a busy one you know. Anyway... I plan on getting a list of races for 1997 ready. If there is a race that you'd like listed e-mail me about it. Keep on running! Mike
