Amazing !!! I never have run a race in D.C. Wonder what would happen if I did!!!!!!!!!!
Its a honor to be listed with runners like Jaron Hawkins and Jim Jordan. Two of the best not only in running but as good people.

I believe James Moreland compiles the rankings from results sent to him through Washington Running Report. There are certain criterion - for example, a race must have atleast 100 finishers and must be, I believe, atleast a mile long. Full details, including eligibility, are on the WRR website. But the important thing is - make sure Moreland gets those Striders results...

I'm actually very surprised that David didn't make the rankings. His GAR time is definitely worthy of 34:20 for 10k. Actually, I did the calculations and Dave's GAR time is an equivalent of 33:18 for 10k, however the WRR does use a factoring system for downhill courses, but it shouldn't add over a minute. Dave's marathon time at Marine Corps is equivalent of 36:21 for 10k and his 5k at the Strides for Health and Fitness (16:46) is equivalent of 34:59, so really Dave just barely missed the rankings this time around. What it takes to make the rankings is first the race must be in Maryland, Virginia, D.C. or Delaware. The results must be reported to WRR and must include name, age, and hometown. The 100 participant provision has been removed from the list of requirements, which will really help some of the local races get some qualifying times. In the open division, a male must run the equivalent of 34:20 for 10k or better. The factors they use to make conversions are at this site www.runwashington.com/other/rankingconversionformula.html. That being said you must run better than 16:27 for 5k and 2:39:59 for the marathon. So close at Jingle Bell, Dave! |
