  • 2014 Annual Meeting Committee Reports
    1 A. Snowrunning Mountain Ultra Trail council members have been meeting for the past two years with members of the US Snowshoe Association including President Mark Elmore. In addition, meetings – formal and informal – have also been conducted with LDR division leaders, USATF staff, and the MUT executive committee. Bolt and Hobbs attended this year’s USSSA National Championships in Vermont (March) and had time to meet with constituents (which number about 500+) and share news about snowrunning becoming another discipline within the MUT family. Since March, Dave Dunham has reviewed the USSSA rules and provided documentation to be included in the USATF rule book as it relates to this new addition to our “family.” The goal at our Annual Meeting this year is to formally include snowrunning (encompassing snowshoes and traction devices as well as simply “running on snowy terrain,” into the broader category) as part of our program. The 2015 USSSA National Championships have already been awarded to Eau Claire, WI (March 2015), and the 2016 venue is not yet decided, but it will be in the western region of USA. 2 Associations Committee Annual Report 2014 Leadership and Movement for 2014: We have committed to making our Associations better by what we can do for them and what they can do for themselves. 1.
