A group of 20 runners determined how far they could run in exactly one hour in what proved to be rainy conditions at the St. Stephens School track. DCRRC used both manual lap counters and a transponder timing system to count complete laps. Each athlete dropped a stick at the point where they stopped, and the length of the partial lap was measured to determine the total length in meters. DCRRC has held such timed track events for decades. For 15 years, it held a 24 hour track run at Ft. Meade. In 1987, the club revived its one hour run and the event has been a part of its annual running schedule offering runners a unique way to test themselves. The world record in this event is held by Haile Gebrselassie who ran 21,285 m in 2007 and by Dire Tune who ran 18,517 m in 2008.
We believe that Tami Graf set a National Record for women 80-84 and a world's best. Elmer Powell, a Master USATF official, was present to document her record attempt. Desta Morkama joined DCRRC's prestigous 10 Miler club. Our first woman was Christie Wetzel who ran 14,898m and bettered Susan Hage's old DCRRC record of 14,180m. Anthonio Eppolito, who won in 2013, left the competition early after completing 25 laps.
