MDRA FRED KURZ MEMORIAL 10-MILE Time
MDRA FRED KURZ MEMORIAL 10-MILE Time Handicap Saturday April 11, 2015 Visit the MDRA website at: www.runmdra.org This is the oldest continuously held running event in Minnesota, first held in 1962 and 1963 as the 10 Mile Handicap Road Race, and renamed in 1964 to honor Fred Kurz. Fred was a charter member of the Minnesota Distance Running Association. A resident of St. Paul, he attended Murray High School and the University of Chicago. He was killed in a bicycle-automobile accident in 1963 at the age of 20. WHERE: The race starts and finishes at Wayzata Central Middle School, near the intersection of Vicksburg Lane and Gleason Lake Road (East County Road 15). Course runs out and back five miles on the Luce Line Trail. Surface is mostly hard packed granular clay. Headphones, dogs, and strollers are NOT permitted on the course. WHEN: Check in starts at 7:30 a.m., Saturday, April 11th; first runners start about 8:30 a.m. Starting times are handicapped by the “world-renowned” Lanin Guessimetric Method (implemented by Rick Recker), with the slowest runners starting first and, ideally, all runners finishing at about the same time (10:30). Thus, all entries MUST include times and distances from at least two (2) races of recent vintage. AWARDS: Merchandise awards to first male and female (based on actual times) for age groups 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. Marathon Sports gift certificates to first runners to cross the finish line. There will be Great Harvest cookies and other items at the finish. ENTRY FEE: MDRA members - $10; all others - $20. You can join the MDRA with this race application by completing the membership portion of the form and making your check out for the total amount. MDRA membership is $25 per year, and includes the Running Minnesota Annual, a handbook containing the most complete Minnesota Race schedule. Mailed entries must be received by April 7th. Race day entries will be reluctantly accepted for $30 for MDRA members and non-members alike. ___________________________________________________________________ Type of yearly membership First name ___________________________________ Last name____________________________________________________ Address _________________________________________________________________________________ Age _______ City _________________________________________________________ State _______ ZIP ____________ M F MDRA Member $10 _______ Non-‐MDRA Member $20 _______ If you wish to join MDRA: Youth (Under 18) $20 Individual $25 email: ___________________________________________ Family $40 Sustaining (one year) $125 Family Sustaining (one year) $150 Total Payment $ _____________ Recent performances (race name, distance, time): MDRA Fred Kurz Memorial 10 Mile 1. 2.
