About
Minnesota Distance Elite is based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Distance Training Center brings together local and national resources to improve the competitiveness of post-collegiate American distance runners on the track, roads and cross country. Minnesota Distance Elite - formerly Team USA Minnesota - was formed in 2001 and since that time has developed two Olympians and 24 National Champions in events ranging from the 1500 meters up through the marathon.
