The Colorado Masters Running & Racewalking Association (CMRA) is a non-profit group organized to promote running and racewalking for health and exercise. The club regularly sponsors running-related activities, including races, fun runs, training sessions, and social events. Races are held at least once a month all over the greater Denver metro area. Races are typically as short as 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) and as long as 10 miles. Age group awards and prize drawings are held following each race.
Membership in CMRA is open to all, regardless of skill or experience, although race awards are geared to runners age 35 and over. CMRA is an all-volunteer effort -- races are conducted by CMRA members without monetary compensation. Although all members are not expected to serve as a race director, they are expected to pitch in and help with club events!
Annual dues for 2005 continue to be $25 for individuals and $35 for families based on a calendar year membership beginning in January. Since registration for club races is $10 each for nonmembers, an individual CMRA membership more than pays for itself after just 3 races!
Aside from racing free each month, the CMRA newsletter, the Master Times, is sent to all club members every other month. Each issue includes recent race results, special articles about training and racing by club members, and information about future events.
The CMRA Point System Challenge offers awards to club members based on points received for age group placing and attendance at races, volunteer contributions, and guest sponsorship. Challenge awards are issued to the top 10 women and men at the CMRA annual dinner banquet/meeting in January.
