Ronnie Wong(R)accepting RRCA Award from Irv Newman |
Now 55, 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. 1. 01/01 Father Frolic Prediction 5 Mile 40:13 2. 01/08 HCS Burleigh Manor 5 mile 35:25 1st AG 3. 01/15 Bermuda Marathon 3:33:25 1st AG 4. 01/29 Super Bowl 5K 20:00 5. 02/05 Penguin Pace 5K 20:59 6. 02/19 GW Birthday Marathon 3:36:47 7. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10 Mile 72:51 8. 03/05 B&A Trail Marathon 3:26:00 1st AG 9. 03/05 HCS Swansfield 5K 24:51 10. 03/11 Outback 5K 19:41 1st AG 11. 03/12 Shamrock 5K 19:12 1st AG 12. 03/19 HCS Longfellow 2M 13:25 1st AG 13. 03/26 Columbia’s Cure 5K 14. 03/26 HCS Burleigh Manor 5K 20:04 1st AG 15. 04/02 Cherry Blossom 10M 65:08 16. 04/02 HCS Elkhorn 10K 45:49 17. 04/08 Ocean City Marathon 3:29:19 1st AG 18. 04/17 Boston Marathon 3:24:24 19. 04/23 Pikes Peek 10K 39:50 20. 04/23 Swansfield 1 Mile 6:11 1st AG 21. 04/30 Frederick Marathon 3:19:05 2nd AG 22. 04/30 HCSA Burleigh Manor 5K 22:25 23. 05/07 HCS Thunder Hill 10K 45:34 24. 05/13 Preakness 5K 19:59 1st AG 25. 05/20 Delaware Marathon 3:29:10 26. 05/28 MCVETS 10K 43:59 27. 05/28 MCVETS 5K 20:27 1st AG 28. 06/04 Bel Air Town Run 5K 19:19 2nd AG 29. 06/04 HCS Elkhorn 10K 45:46 30. 06/10 FMH Race for Leukemia 5 Mile 31. 06/18 GBMC Father's Day 5K 20:06 32. 06/21 HCS Swansfield 5K 22:31 33. 06/25 Damien's 5K 20:30 34. 06/28 HCS Jeffers Hill 10K 46:32 35. 07/04 Arbutus Firecracker 10K 42:54 36. 07/08 Spirit of Gettysburg 5K 19:38 37. 07/12 HCS Oakland Mills 6M 43:06 1st AG 38. 07/19 Meet of Miles 5:45 1st AG 39. 07/23 Bon Ton 5 Mile 32:41 1st AG 40. 07/26 HCS Thunder Hill 10K 44:40 41. 08/09 HCS Jeffers Hill 47:35 42. 08/06 Hadassah Challenge 5k 20:24 43. 08/13 BRRC Too Hot to Trot 5 mile 32:59 44. 08/16 HCS Thunder Hill 10K 43:18 1st AG 45. 08/23 Celestial 5K 20:29 46. 08/27 Annapolis 10 mile 68:28 3rd AG 47. 09/03 Larry Noel 15K 66:58 48. 09/04 Bay Cafe 5K 20:54 49. 09/10 HCS Burleigh Manor 5M 39:04 50. 09/17 Police Pace 5K 19:53 51. 09/23 Diane Geppi-Aikens Memorial 5K 21:04 1st AG 52. 09/24 Bachmann Valley HM 1:51:15 1st AG 53. 09/30 Catonsville 5K 20:56 1st AG 54. 10/01 HCS Burleigh Manor 5K 24:16 55. 10/08 Steamtown Marathon 4:18:51 56. 10/14 Baltimore Marathon 4:32:26 57. 10/22 Chicago Marathon 5:01:49 58. 10/29 Marine Corps Marathon 3:55:37 59. 11/05 New York Marathon 4:14:08 60. 11/11 Richmod Marathon 3:31:11 3rd AG 61. 11/19 HCS Longfellow 10K 48:53 1st AG 62. 11/25 NCT Marathon 3:29:49 1st AG 63. 12/03 HCS Metric Marathon 2:08:40 3rd AG 64. 12/10 BRRC Master 10K 41:42 1st AG 65. 12/10 HCS Thunder Hill 10K 49:48 66. 12/16 Celtic Solstice 5M 34:34 1st AG ***************************************************************** John Winkert *****************************************************************

Jay at the 2000 PVTC track meet in Alexandria. |

I started my running career at Peary High School in Rockville in 1980. I rode the coattails of my teammates to a team state championship in cross-country in 1982. What I gained from cross-country and track in high school I will always carry with me. I have run nine marathons, but a tenth is not necessarily forthcoming. However, I run a lot of races (obviously) to motivate myself to train. Running provides a great release from the stresses of teaching. After all these years, I'm still running and still in high school. |

Walt Washburn of Vienna, VA after running the Northern 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 a3m 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 th:e Frank Shorter inspired running boom. Since then I have won 32 plaques, 39 trophie, 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 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. 3 |

Bill Stahr was so glad to join the club. Here he is at a wedding reception from 1996. |

Born in Washington, DC 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. 1. ***************************************************************** Beverly Smeby *****************************************************************

Bev got interested in running races after she got married to John. She still prefers the 5K. |

My second running career began in 1996 when I woke up in the cardiac unit of Sewickley Hospital. My heart rate had been about 350 beats per minute for more than 24 hours. I had been a fairly gifted runner in high school but 20 years of inactivity and many beers had taken their toll. My heart got back into rhythm before being shocked and I vowed to get myself back into shape. Initially I had trouble just walking a mile. After several years, I worked my way up to a marathon. Since then, I have completed two marathons, including New York City in 2005. Because of my ongoing heart condition (much better thanks to running and medication), I will always be a back of the packer. However, I believe that my joy of running rivals that of the age group winners. My non running inspirations are my wife, Dori, who married me even though I was fat and out of shape and still encourages me and supports my racing, and my dog, Bailey, who is still going strong at 15 years and after losing her jaw to cancer 4 years ago. My running inspirations are my frequent racing buddies Kathy Goin, Andrea Sparks, and Yuri Kim; Lauren Burawski DiGennaro, the finest runner I know who has encouraged me to become a better runner; and people like John Shultz, Walt Washburn, and Christina Caravoulias, who inspire me with their ongoing joy for running. |

I am originally from the Hoosier State of Indiana, but I
do not play much basketball anymore. My early training consisted of chasing squirrels
and another varmint off the front yard. My dad just had this serious hatred of squirrels.
Now, that I live in the DC area, my dad just sits on the porch yelling at them. Back to me,
After running cross country and track at my high school, I moved on to Yale University where
I ran all 4 years for the Bulldogs, and ultimately, earned a degree in Chemical Engineering.
Here is a list of my college PR's Now that I am in DC, I enjoy running for the DC Road Runners. While I am not running quite as fast as I did in school, I enjoy meeting other runners, and competition in the area. I recently ran my 1st 1/2 marathon and marathon this fall. I ran 1:12:04 for the Quantico 1/2 marathon, and 2:48:12 for Marine Corp. Give a certain level financial freedom, I long to run back and forth across the country - much like Forrest Gump did in that movie. However, I would like adding a certain sense of adventure - I would like to fall in and out of adventures sort of like Bruce Banner in the Incredible Hulk. Instead of turning into a green monster, I would use my running ability to help ordinary folk out extraordinary circumstances. Everyone has to have a dream. |

Although I tried my hand at Jr High and HS track
and cross-country, I started serious racing at the age of 29 when I joined the DCRRC.
Currently, my training is aimed more for marathons than for shorter
distances. I enjoy meeting runners and serving the running community,
through local clubs and through racePacket.

I started running races in 1998, although I had been running
for many years before that for fun and exercise. I enjoy competing in every distance, from
100 meters to marathons and am an RRCA certified coach. In 2005, I became a master. Also
in 2005, I took up throwing for the first time (javelin, shot put, and discus) and started to learn
race walking by attending the PVTC clinics. I entered my first judged race walk (10,000 meters)
at the 2005 PV Games and managed to stay in and not get disqualified. I actually picked up a meet
record, but with a time I am not proud to claim and that I hope to improve upon dramatically.
My favorite local races to run are the DCRRC's Club Belle Haven 25K (usually held in late
February or early March) and the ACF's Potomac River Run Half Marathon (usually held in early May).
Can you tell that I like the hills heading out to Mount Vernon? My husband and I enjoy two key races
in Virginia Beach put on by the Tidewater Striders and we customarily climb the old lighthouse afterwards
to overlook the finish line. (The photo was taken after a Striders 10K race in February 2005.) Running
at the beach in winter is one of life's great pleasures.
I have run the Marine Corps Marathon three times, which is a drop in the bucket compared to many
Fifty Plus members who come back year after year after year... Although I have no immediate plans
to run it again, I am sure that I will be lured back eventually by the great course and festival atmosphere.
For any Fifty Plus members or others out there who plans to run the Marine Corps or other marathons,
please consider honoring a fallen soldier, sailor, Marine or airman/woman and giving your finisher medal
to his/her family. For more info, see Fallen Heroes.
I did this in memory of my late cousin Sgt. Michael J. Esposito Jr. (10th MTN) who was killed in Afghanistan.
It will be a moving experience for you and for the family of the person you remember. Btw, I did manage
to run the one and only "Inaugural DC Marathon" in 2002 and I was sorry to see it - and my entry fee! - Go
away in 2003, because I thought the course was fun and interesting.
