1997-2015
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.
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.
We finalize the site for each year on January 31st of the next year so that we can have official totals prepared in time for the annual awards party in February. Any race infomation not received by the 1/31 deadline may not be eligible for the awards or official recogition on the Web site.
