To Submit a Nomination

You may nominate yourself or another runner as most improved in one of two ways. First, you can use the online nomination form to nominate candidates

Or second, you can send an email to mcrrc.awards “at” gmail.com to nominate a candidate. Minimally, an emailed nomination should include the nominee’s name, sex, email address, and confirmation that the nominee is an MCRRC member. Desirable information includes regular mailing address, phone number, and age.

Beyond that, please include in the email very specific information that supports your nomination. You can consider the award criteria in determining what is important to include (i.e., number of races, number of PR’s, best times of the year at various distances with comparison to best times at those distances in the prior year, and [ideally] time comparisons for races on the same course—for instance, best 8k of the year vs. best 8k of the prior year and Twilighter 8k vs. previous year Twilighter 8k).

Any questions about the nomination process may be sent to mcrrc.awards “at” gmail.com.
