The Manitoba Runners’ Association is a non-profit organization made up of runners of all ages and abilities, from those who never race to the elite runners. Our aim is to encourage mass participation in road running and the individual pursuit of excellence, through our schedule of fun runs and road races. The MRA is concerned with runner safety and promotes the interests of road runners in the province.
For 37 years the MRA has been the source for running in Manitoba.
Leni is the Executive Director of the Manitoba Runners' Association for the second time. She held this position in the late 1980's and early 1990's. In 2002 she was asked if she wanted to come back and she happily said yes. She is married with two children and six grandchildren.
Leni has a passion for communicating with the members and being at the races to cheer them on. She loves to walk, ballroom dance, cycle, read, go to movies, and spend time with her wonderful grandchildren. Being Executive Director is not just a job to Leni, it is a labour of love.
