Santa Claus Half Marathon Masters Rankings!!! Men's

2011-08-08T17:20:00.000-07:00

John Estle has been sending out semi-classified historic data for some of the Flint Hills races this summer. So and so's time was X ranked in such and such race. Now, for the first time he has deep all-time rankings for the Santa Clause Half Marathon. Men's
and Women's rankings.

Thanks John! That will be a great resource for information. I for one like to look a this stuff, and it's always motivating as well as interesting to see who did what and when.

I have taken the liberty to pull out the fastest age group times and have organized them by 10 year age categories 40-49, 50-59, and 60-69.

INTRODUCTION TO MIDNIGHT SUN RUN MASTERS RECORDS AND RANKINGS

2009-06-29T10:54:00.000-07:00

Here we go! The much unanticipated initial foray into the deveolopment of what will become The Official Midnight Sun Run Masters Records and Ranking list. Now 27 years old, the Midnight Sun Run in Fairbanks, Alaska has a rich history, and it even has its own Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Sun_Run#Race_history

As an old school runner who started out in the first running boom of the 1970s, I'm a big fan the 10K distance. 10Ks used to be The Benchmark race distance, where the milers met the marathoners and races were ubiquitous. Now with the rise in popularity of 5Ks, marathons, and 1/2 marathons (and locally trail runs) we have just a handful of accessible 10Ks, most very early in the season.

I'm also a fan of the Midnight Sun Run; it's a fun community event with something for everyone. So I've started compiling data from past editions of the Midnight Sun run to document results from masters (40 to 80s) runners. The history of masters running at the Midnight Sun Run is also full of fast times, but so far no one has maintained a records database for age group times, let alone a rankings list.

Over the next weeks I'll be posting up preliminary lists, garnered from the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. We're missing a couple of years of data (1984 and 1989), so feel free to contact me by email (rwsayre@hotmail.com) if you have information on those years, or if there are corrections.
