April/May 2001 Survey for AATRA

One of our goals in 2001 is to survey trail runners about their experiences and thoughts on the sport. We will have a new survey on our website at least every other month. Please respond by May 31 to be included in the results from this survey. We will post the results on the website in early June and have another survey posted on June 1.
