RACE RESULTS AND PICTURES ON FACEBOOK

The majority of the club's race results and pictures are on our Facebook page. It is much easier to post to FB, along with numerous pictures. Plus, everyone who is a member can post their own pictures and results. For our local events, I will continue to post them here. (Please note that sometimes the race results do not post correctly such as the 2011 Swamp Run. I apologize that they are a " jumbled up mess"
but after numerous attempts at trying to type them on individual lines, I finally gave up.)

If you are on FB but not on the club's FB page, go to Okefenokee Track Club and click "Like".
(I was not able to change the page to Okefenokee Track & Cycling Club
without starting over, but I was able to use our new logo.)

The 2009 Boston Marathon

“The Boston Marathon” ----- That says it all. For runners, it is the Super Bowl and World Series of our sport. In order to compete, a racer must meet an age group standard in a qualifying marathon. Tiffany Cochran and Cheryl Monroe trained, qualified, and completed the 2009 Boston Marathon, the 113th running of this prestigious event on April 20. Tiffany finished in 3 hours, 34 minutes, 57 seconds. Cheryl came in at 4:01:42. These fast times automatically qualified them for next year’s race. Congratulations ladies!

Other info: The 113th Boston Marathon is in the record books with 22,898 participants finishing the race – the second-highest total ever, after the 100th anniversary edition in 1996. The number of female finishers, 9,311, was the most in Boston history.
