Happy New Year! We're excited for 2011 and hope you are too. The past six years have been a wild ride for the Midwest Distance Gala, but in 2011, we're taking what we've built to a whole new level. We'll make a few announcements in the coming weeks, but for now, know that we're going to make the event even better for participating athletes, fans and the sport. We're dreaming big, we're working hard and we are convinced 2011 is going to be the best year yet for the Midwest Distance Gala.

Best of luck to all of you in 2011. May your running be strong, your PRs drop significantly and hopefully we'll see you on Saturday, June 11 at the Midwest Distance Gala.

Happy New Year!
