ED. We're editing and reposting this to encourage those who haven't gotten their Tri Night '13 tickets to do so at their earliest opportunity. Also, we remind everyonw that Race of the Year voting will close on Saturday.

* What was your favorite multisport experience of 2013? Let us know by casting your vote for “Triathletes Choice Race of the Year.” To do so, click on one of the “Vote” graphics in the ad sections on the right side of the homepage.

Here are the rules:

* Voting Eligibility - Only those Minnesota tri and/or du-athletes who raced in one or more multisport events staged on Minnesota soil, or in the following border state events that draw large numbers of Minnesota participants: Croixathlon, St. Croix Valley Triathlon, Burrito Union 5 & 10-Hour Triathlons, Pigman Sprint, Pigman Half & Olympic and Outland Challenge....

Athletes can only vote ONCE and it MUST be for an event in which they actually participated. Race Directors are also allowed to vote. They can vote for only ONE event and it can be either for their own race or one they attended as a spectator or volunteer. Out-of-state athletes who raced in Minnesota events are also encouraged to vote for their favorite Minnesota racing experience.

* Eligible Voters are encouraged to vote for the event that they most enjoyed. Please do not vote for the event that you feel was the grandest or best-staged. Base your choice on how much YOU enjoyed the experience, whatever the reason for that may be. This award is not for the BEST race of 2013; it's for FAVORITE race of the year.

* HOW TO VOTE – Click on one of the “Vote” icons in the ad sections on the right side of the MTN homepage.

* VOTING WILL CONCLUDE at midnight on October 26. and the Top 5 Vote Getters (based on % of participation *) will be announced on MTN on October 27.

* RACE DIRECTORS, please contact your event's participants and encourage them to vote.

* The Triathletes Choice Race of the Year will be announced along with the MMA winners at Tri Night '13 on November 9 at Gear West Bike & Triathlon in Long Lake. For event and ticket information, link HERE.
