About
Minnesota Distance Elite is based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

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.
