2010 Dexter-Ann Arbor Run 10K Awarded Masters National Championship by United States Track and Field Association

The Masters Long Distance Running Committee of the United States Track and Field Association has awarded the 2010 masters 10K national championship to the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run 10K, which is hosted by the Ann Arbor Track Club.  It is a great honor for the DXA2 10K to have been selected for this prestigious national championship race, which will attract participation from elite masters runners across the United States.

On Saturday, December 5, 2009, AATC President Mitchell Garner, DXA2 Race Director Hal Wolfe, and elite masters runner Doug Goodhue presented the DXA2’s bid to the Masters LDR Committee at the United States Track and Field Association’s annual meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana.  After presenting the bid, the AATC representatives fielded questions from the Masters LDR Committee members, and the committee members unanimously approved the bid.

The national championship race will take place on Sunday, June 6, 2010, in conjunction with the three regular DXA2 races (5K, 10K, and half-marathon) and will offer a competitive prize structure for masters runners.  The half-marathon has been previously designated by the Road Runners Club of America as an RRCA state championship race for 2010.

All AATC members are encouraged to volunteer during the race weekend as a sign of their support and appreciation for the AATC and the programs the AATC provides to our running community. Your volunteer efforts are even more important in 2010, when the DXA2 will be hosting a USATF masters national championship race and an RRCA state championship race. 

Even if you are running in the race, you will still be able to help the AATC by volunteering on Saturday, before the race, or on Sunday, after the race.
