Compiled and Maintained by Buck Jones § CRITERIA: Criteria for a state record include the following: (1) Alabama resident (2) U.S. citizen (3) Race run in Alabama (4) Certified courses. BIRTHDATES: Anyone noting their name in the state record listings, please call or write if I show no birth date for you. CHANGES: Potential changes to this list or any future list are welcome, just call or write me at the phone- address listed below. HELP: Race Directors, Club Board Members, and Runners, help me a little and I will be able to provide you with accurate state records.

Alabama Running Data Center - Phone: 256-539-1922 C-O Buck Jones, 2920 Eastern Shore Drive, Owens Cross Roads, AL 35763
e-mail: [email protected]
P - Pending Record, birthdate/hometown required within 6 months of race date or will be dropped. a - Point to Point Course, better than State Record but not eligible for State Record. * - Non U.S. Citizen, better than the State Record but not eligible for a State Record. # - Best Time for Distance-Sex on Point to Point Course. T - Tie performances for same age.
RACE DIRECTORS: Race directors please note the following information if you have a certified race. On your race results I need individual ages, not just by age groups. Also I need the home town listed, in order to confirm the runner is an Alabama resident. Without the above I can't use the results, unless the runner is well known to me. I do need birthdates for record holders and would suggest that all race directors add a place on the entry forms. I would not expect birthdates to be added to the race results but they would be available should I or USATF Road Running Information Center need them. USATF RRIC is the national data center for long dis- tance road-track racing, having taken over from the NRDC. I will process all Alabama race results as the state record keeper through to USATF RRIC.
NOTE: Birth dates are still required for an age record, however those dates are no longer being published.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION WAIVER
I know that running and volunteering to work in club races are potentially hazardous activities. I should not enter and run in club activities unless I am medically able and properly trained.

I assume all risks associated with running and volunteering to work in club races including, but not limited to, falls, contact with other partici- pants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or humidity, the conditions of the road and traffic on the course, all such risks being known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts, and in consideration of your acceptance of my application for membership, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Road Runners Club of America, Huntsville Track Club and all sponsors, their representatives and successors for all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in these club activities even though that liability may arise out of negligence or careless- ness on the part of the persons named in this waiver.
