The Colorado Masters Running Association (CMRA) is a proud sponsor of
the Colorado High School Runner Initiative. The Initiative will enable
any Colorado high school track or cross country team member between the
ages of 14 and 18 years to participate in any and all CMRA race events
from June - December 2007 for only $5. Age group (14-18 years) awards
in the High School Division will go to the top five male and top five
female finishers.
|
The purpose of the Initiative is three-fold:
-
to encourage participating high school runners to run and stay fit
all year round;
-
to provide opportunities for high school runners to compete against
runners from other high schools in organized events outside the regular
season and throughout the year at low cost;
-
to allow CMRA members to fulfill a stewardship role in the wider community
and serve as role models for engaging in lifelong running and physical
fitness.

Interested students need only complete and submit a registration/waiver
form with the $5 fee at their first CMRA event. This form, which
requires signatory approval from the student's parent or guardian,
is available as a PDF file for download
here so it may be printed and
completed offline.
|
|
Based on actual experience with the Initiative in 2007, the CMRA hopes
to offer it again for the entire calendar year 2008.
