Here is another curious statistic. What is your average pace for all the miles you have run in all your races? To help read this, note that 1988-1990 was mostly track races, including the 24 Hour Relay. In 1991, I ran eleven marathons, including a 50 miler. In 1994, I race walked a lot, including a 50 miler. In 1996, I ran the JFK 50 Miler. YEARLY AVERAGE RACE PACE

Join the 50 PLUS CLUB
Revised Rules and Definitions of Qualified races Have you? Are you? Will you? Do you plan to run more than fifty races this year? Our name was originally the Plus 50 Club. Some people thought you had to be more than fifty years old. To be sure, more than one third the members are more than fifty. We decided to rename it the 50 Plus Club. Maybe if we branch out to 100 Plus people will be sure that it is the number of races, not the age of the runners that we are counting.
Runners are racing more often. Inspired by racing legend Ted Poulos, who has raced more than 200 races a year more than once, the 50 Plus Club was formed. Poulos had some injuries in 1998 and fell short of his 1997 record 222 races. Still, his 119 led all members. In the first year, Ted Poulos hosted a dinner for the initial six club inductees and a guest.
As we guessed, in 1999 the numbers tripled to eighteen. Thanks to Ted's deep pockets, we were all his guests again at Rocco's in McLean, VA. If the list becomes as large as we think it will be, we will try to convince Ted to let us help work out a different format to save him from going bankrupt. We have proposed that the runner with the most races at year's end be an honored guest joining the rest of the members of the 50 Plus Club. We are again planning to award a completion certificate to all members.
The rules are simple. Races run must be 1500M or longer. Relay races with distances that long can count as one race, i.e., (a two-person six-time one mile race = one race per person). Counting races you were forced to walk in, such as marathons, is acceptable. The finishing time is not important. This is a case where quantity is as good as quality. Everyone is welcome.
Aspiring members are encouraged to send updates as often as possible. The information goes into a database so we do not need the complete list, only the newer races after the first report. Please list the race name, the date, distance. We welcome other information about your time and place as well.

UPDATES IN REVERSE ALPHABETICAL ORDER: ***************************************************************** Ronnie Wong *****************************************************************
| Ronnie is from Singapore and moved to Bermuda where he started running in 1980. He continued to run when he moved to Maryland in 1982. He is married and has a 12-year-old daughter. Ronnie competes in many races and works as a chef at the Inner Harbor six days a week. Now 54, he did not begin running until he was 34, after he moved from Singapore to Bermuda, where he was working as a chef and hanging out in discos every night until 4:00 a.m. A friend bet him six shots of whiskey that he could not finish a 10K race. He finished, drank the shots and got hooked on running. He ran his first 10K race nine months later and then moved to Baltimore. He even ran a marathon in Bermuda the day after his wedding in 1988 and won, making headline news. He has run in a total of 113 marathon including Boston, New York, Stockholm, San Francisco, Minnesota, Virginia, New Jersey, and Montreal. In 1990, he competed as an Ultra Runner, in the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, at New York's Flushing Meadow Park. In this 1,300-mile race, Ronnie Wong was first, after completing 1,177 miles, approximately 65 miles a day. Ronnie ran for 14 days, 23 hours, 32 minutes, and 31 seconds, placing as the 4th fastest American and 16th fastest in history. The following year 1991 he raced again and ran 1,215 miles placing third, but he cut his time to 14 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes, and 25 seconds. |

Walt Washburn of Vienna, VA after running the North Central Trail Marathon in 4:17:26 on 11/27/99. This was the only marathon that I did not race. I only ran a training pace because I had run the hilly Richmond Marathon two weeks before in 4:16:45. I am now 77 years old. I ran high school cross-country during the years 1937-39. I placed third in the State Meet at Bates College in Lewiston, ME in 1939. I started road running in the Fall of 1972 at 50 years of age during the Frank Shorter inspired running boom. Since then I have won 32 plaques, 39 trophies, 40 ribbons, 86 medals, 46 patches, 51 certificates, 29 miscellaneous items, and dozens of mugs/glasses. I have nine drawers of shirts. I have run the Boston Marathon four times. I have completed 51 marathons and dropped out of nine more. I have run in Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland. I have run in 1079 races. |

I am the guy who has fifteen (15) different last names (for now). I have a fiendish smile, but do not worry; it is only the smile that's fiendish. My life is a little complicated. My parents moved from China to Philippines. I grew up in Manila, and have only stayed in the states for seven years. I am a tax accountant, but I don't have an accounting degree. I'm a CNA, but I'm not a consultant nor administrator for now. I used to smoke two packs a day and drank (I plead the fifth on how much), but kept a busy, physical routine. I played competitive basketball, tennis, swam, worked out, etc. I've been joining races since I was in high school, but I didn't consider them as racing. I just started racing a year and a half ago. I hope to get more PR's in the near future. A couple of folks mentioned to me the 50 plus club, and I thought it's something that I can do. I get bored easily, as much as possible I try to do as much as I can. This is not even the tip of the iceberg. Maybe I should write a book in 20 years, but nobody's going to buy it. I think running with members from 50 Plus Club, several running clubs in the area and the company running club has made my life more colorful and interesting. I think of it as "sharpening the saw". Running keeps me going. I can't say enough how much I appreciate the help that we get from the race directors and volunteers. The running community also has impressive people in terms of running skills, personalities, careers, etc. I look up to a bunch of them. |

Born in Washington, D.C. many years ago, life was different growing up. Came down with Polio in 1952 that made me weak and scrawny. Moved to the suburbs and completed secondary school at Bethesda-Chevy Chase H.S. Attempted to perform adequately at the University of Maryland but came up short (very) after the first year. Went on active duty in the U.S. Navy Seabees and did construction work on two tours of duty in Vietnam. During the second tour was wounded, the most significant time with an 82MM mortar round that left me partially disabled. Having learned the hard way about life, went back to the University of Maryland for a B.S. degree then George Washington University for a M.S.A. Didn’t want to dig ditches the rest of my life and get my butt shot up again---. Got into exercise jogging and running in the mid-1980’s, but never took it seriously until my older brother started doing marathons. I went to see him run the Cape Cod Marathon and a skinny, older gentleman was the honorary speaker and race starter, Bill Rodgers. Then I saw him run the Marine Corps Marathon and set as a goal the same accomplishment. Ran my first race in 1995 and have been hooked on doing races ever since. Completed five marathons and six half marathons in 1999. Recently relocated from the northern Virginia suburbs to Arlington, Texas (between Fort Worth and Dallas). It took me no time to find out the area is rich in running clubs and races, to include several highly recognized marathons. The relocation has set me back in the race count category but plan to get back into the groove and do the Country Music Marathon April 29th, even if I have to run/walk the course. Want to say a special thanks to all of the running friends in the Washington, D.C. area and the support provided. No matter where you place, the running infrastructure is positive, supportive and very friendly. |
John has big plans for 2001 Born in Washington, DC many years ago, grew up in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area of Montgomery County, Maryland. Got into exercise jogging and running in the mid-1980’s, but never took it seriously until my older brother started doing marathons. I went to see him run the Cape Cod Marathon and a skinny, older gentleman was the honorary speaker and race starter, Bill Rodgers. Then I saw my brother run the Marine Corps Marathon and set as a goal the same accomplishment. Ran my first race in 1995 and have been hooked on doing races ever since. Completed five marathons in 2000, and three so far in 2001. Joined the Fifty States Marathon Club in 2001 and have set as a goal to run a marathon in each of the fifty states and DC. So far, I have completed twelve states, so I have a LONG way to go. In 2000, I relocated from the northern Virginia suburbs to Mansfield, Texas (south of the airport between Fort Worth and Dallas). It took me no time to find out the area is rich in running clubs and races, to include several highly recognized marathons. The relocation set me back on maintenance running, but finished 2000 with 149 races. Plan for 2001 is to back off on the race count, increase maintenance runs, and increase the number of marathons, with a goal of one a month.
DFW has fewer rolling/hilly courses. DFW has more courses run on concrete vs. asphalt. DFW is big into Clydesdale Division race categories (opens up the race to greater participants). DFW has far greater races that have 5-year age groups AND go five deep in awards (definitely increases runner participation, even if the award is a ribbon/medal). DFW has more two or more race activities per event, such as a one miler at 8 A.M. and a 5K at 8:30 A.M. Opens up participation to more people and the number of races. DFW has two 5K-race series all summer long (12/13 weeks) held on weeknights. This is in addition to weeknight track meet summer series. DFW has warmer/hotter temperatures BUT the humidity is much less than the DC area. It seems easier to run in the heat/less humidity than less heat/more humidity. Running clubs have races scheduled once a month at “off traditional race times”, such as a Prediction 5K race first Tuesday of the month at 7 P.M., or a Back to Basics 5K Sunday at 4 or 6 P.M. DFW is big on Duathlon races run in parallel with a 5K race. Duathlon races are very well attended race activities in the area. (2- mile run, 9.6-mile bike and 2-mile run as an example). DFW running/athletic stores are much more active supporting races than in the DC area (Swiatocha, Run On!, Luke’s). They also are very active in sponsoring beginner, intermediate,advanced and marathon running training programs. DFW is comparable to the DC area in number of running clubs and their sponsorship of running activities and races.

Bev got interested in running races after she got married to John. She still prefers the 5K. [42 of her first 45 races were a 5K.] We will post a picture soon. |

Although I live in Pittsburgh, I was born in Silver Spring and I have lived in Hyattsville & Frederick. I have run some of the major races in your area such as the Army 10-Miler, Fair Lakes 10K, & the GWB 10K Classic. In addition, I have run some lower key events sponsored by the DCRRC, MCRRC, Howard County Striders, Westminster Runners Club, Shenandoah Valley Runners, & Queen City Striders.Here are my race totals from prior years...
