About MMR

Founded this company with a passion for people, inclusivity, local business support, and family-centered entertainment in mind. 

​

Her passion for triathlon was born with her very first sprint and has not dulled since. She loves this racing community! As many of you know, she calls triathlon a family and is always so excited to have new members join. Judite has been directing races for over 13 years now, so it only seemed reasonable to continue to do what she loves – throw parties!

​

Midwest Multisport Races is a Minnesota race organizer creating inclusive 5Ks, 10Ks, triathlons and Minnesota half marathons for athletes of every pace. Led by Judite Verdugo, a lifelong triathlete and community builder. The MMR team designs welcoming, well-run events—from 5Ks and 10Ks to triathlons and kids’ fun runs—so athletes of every pace feel supported before, during, and after race day.

​

What we stand for 

• Community first: local partners, hometown venues, and volunteer and staff crews that know our athletes.

• Inclusive by design: stroller-friendly policies, clear course signage, and space for first-timers and PR-chasers alike.

• Safety & quality: certified courses when applicable, professional timing, on-course support, and free race photos at select events.

• Giveback: a portion of proceeds or in-kind support goes to Minnesota nonprofits each season.

• Fun matters: post-race traditions (bonfires, pancakes, photo booths) that make memories.
