This is an amazing running event and credit unions and their business partners nationwide have enthusiastically united to be a part of it. The impact of our long-standing partnership is remarkable. Since becoming the title sponsors in 2002, we have donated over $7.5 million to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, locally and across the country, which treat 10 million children annually. Credit unions are the among the top three contributors to CMN Hospitals, after Walmart and Costco, having donated $11.5 million in 2015 alone. This amount includes generous donations from runners and credit union members, employees and volunteers. We are very grateful for the generous support from our top business partners, PSCU and CUNA Mutual Group, both valuable industry business partners who help underwrite the costs of title sponsorship. And, a big shout out to the hundreds of credit union volunteers who enjoy helping on race weekend at packet pickup, water stops, corrals, and other stations. We are also pleased to be partners with a sister run, the Credit Union SacTown Run in Sacramento, California, and two Freedom Runs for our troops serving in Germany and Kuwait. Involvement with the race and CMN Hospitals is a prime example of credit unions’ core values – reaching out to support our local communities. Seeing over 100 credit unions and business partners and thousands of runners coming together to support the health and wellbeing of children is truly inspiring. We are honored to be a part of the “Runner’s Rite of Spring”! On with the Race and Celebration of our 15th Anniversary! Theresa Mann Chair of Credit Union Miracle Day Run Committee President/CEO of The Partnership FCU Charlie Mallon Vice Chair, and Chair of CUMF Credit Union Cherry Blossom President/CEO of Congressional FCU 2 2016 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Media Guide Welcome Letters On behalf of myself, Deputy Race Director Becky Lambros, the organizing committee and our 2,000 volunteers, we would like to welcome everyone to the 44th running of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run and 5K Run-Walk. We call our event “The Runner’s Rite of Spring” because we feel it represents the reawakening of our Nation’s Capital to the coming of spring and the blooming of the legendary cherry trees which surround our beautiful course. Whether you are a runner, a spectator or a member of the media covering the event, we hope you will take a few moments to savor the trees, the spring air and the splendor of the city. Since 1973 the event has hosted over 275,000 runners, each with his or her own athletic fantasy — ranging from simply covering the distance, to posting a personal best time, or to taking home an award. One of the hallmarks of running is its accessibility to everyone. We are pleased to provide the stage. We are especially pleased to welcome four-time Olympian Meb Keflezighi to the race this year. Meb is the only person ever to have won an Olympic medal—silver in the marathon in Athens in 2004— as well as the New York CIty and Boston Marathons. And Meb’s personal story is even more inspiring. From his arrival in America as a refugee from war- torn Eritrea in 1987, to being granted U.S. citizenship in 1998, to becoming the first American to win the New York City Marathon in 27 years in 2009, to his emotionally charged victory at the 2014 Boston Marathon and his recent Olympic Trials performance—second at the age of 40—Meb’s life résumé is legendary. Keflezighi will run the 10 mile as a tempo run as part of his initial training for the Rio Olympic Marathon after qualifying for his fourth U.S. Olympic Team in Los Angeles on February 13. He will join the 6:00 Gold’s Gym pace group and invites his fellow runners to “break an hour with Meb.” This is a great opportunity for many of our seeded and yellow corral participants to run with an inspirational runner in their attempt to better the elusive 60-minute barrier. I expect to see a large posse crossing the line with Meb, many with smiles on their faces after setting new personal records. We take great pride that the event has served another cause as well — helping sick children receive medical care through the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since the Credit Unions became the title sponsor in 2002, the event has raised over $7.5 million dollars for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We would be unable to conduct this event without the full cooperation of the National Park Service and the United States Park Police. We thank both organizations for the opportunity to stage the event on our Nation’s front doorstep. Sincerely, Phil Stewart Event Director 2016 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Media Guide 3 Race Day Media Information eith Peters is the Media Coordinator for the 2016 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run and 5K Run-Walk.

One final note: The event’s website features a comprehensive results database, searchable by name and/or age group for the 10-mile race dating back to 1973, and for the 5K Run-Walk dating back to 2006, when the 5K was upgraded from an untimed run to a fully-timed and scored event: http://www.cballtimeresults.org Women’s winner Lisa Weidenbach and 3rd place finisher Kim Jones meet the press after the 1989 race 4 2016 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Media Guide Event Background or runners in Washington since 1973, the true beginning of spring is marked not by a date on the calendar but by the Frunning of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run, also known as The Runner’s Rite of Spring.® See The Run- ner’s Rite of Spring® Elite competitors have used the race as a final competitive tune-up for the Boston Marathon two weeks later. Bill Rodgers, Greg Meyer, and Lisa Larsen Weidenbach all went on to win Boston after their victories here. For lesser mortals, Cherry Blossom means a chance to doff the warm-up suits, turtlenecks, caps and gloves of winter and join other runners in a celebration of the season. Here in Washington, the race has become as fixed a rite of spring as the Easter Egg Roll at the White House or the lighting of the Japanese lanterns on the Tidal Basin. The staging area for the event is on the Washington Monument Grounds, and the course passes in sight of all of the major Washington, DC Memorials. While there have been numerous iterations of the 10-mile course over the years, one element has been constant—The Runner’s Rite of Spring has always been the only truly elite running race to be held in the Nation’s Capital. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a consortium of 170 premier children’s hospitals across the United States. About one-third of the funds raised support Washington, DC’s own Children’s National Medical Center. To date, over $7.5 million has been raised for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the United States. The event also funds two $5,000 Road Runners Club of America “Roads Scholar” grants designed to support up- and-coming U.S. distance running talent. Credit Union Miracle Day, Inc., a consortium of credit unions and credit union suppliers, is the title sponsor of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run, 5K Run-Walk and Kids’ Run. PSCU is the lead financial partner of Credit Union Miracle Day, Inc. Supporting sponsors include Cabot Creamery Cooperative, E-Trade, Gatorade, Gold’s Gym, Marathon- Foto, MedStar Sports Medicine, Navy Federal Credit Union, New Balance, Potomac River Running and Suburban Solu- tions Moving Company.

Members of the Coney Island Board of Trade, in which Astella helped to revitalize and provides technical assistance, have noted that while most merchants keep the sidewalk area in front of their stores free of liter according to city law, additional liter and sidewalk dirt and stains accumulate throughout the remainder of the day. In addition, according to a survey of Mermaid Ave. merchants conducted by an Astella intern in 2010, cleanliness of Mermaid Ave. was cited as the number one concern among merchants on Mermaid Ave. A cleaner commercial corridor will inspire confidence and pride in the neighborhood, provide a welcoming environment for shoppers, a boost for Mermaid Ave.

This year’s field includes reigning USATF marathon national champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin, and five U.S. women with personal records (PRs) faster than 2:30 (including two of the top 10 fastest women in U.S. history). “This year’s elite field highlights an exciting resurgence we are seeing in American distance running right now,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have a deep pool of American runners who are coming to Chicago to run fast, and we cannot wait to welcome them in the fall. We could see new American records and a lot of personal bests in October.” American women’s field With a PR of 2:20:57, Hasay leads this year’s field as the second-fastest American woman in history and the fastest to ever run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Hasay hopes to put Deena Kastor’s long-standing American record, 2:19:36, in jeopardy. But Hasay’s primary competitor won’t be the clock alone – Amy Cragg, Emma Bates, Stephanie Bruce, Lindsay Flanagan and Taylor Ward represent a strong contingent of U.S.

They will also go head-to-head with a mighty contingent of international athletes led by Mo Farah, past champions Abel Kirui and Dickson Chumba, 2017 runner-up Brigid Kosgei, and two- time third-place finisher and sub-2:20 runner Birhane Dibaba. “We are thrilled with this year’s overall elite field,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “There is an incredible amount of talent and momentum on the American women’s side, and Rupp is leading a resurgence on the men’s side. These athletes are going to put on quite a show in October, and they are going to keep alive Chicago’s legacy of supporting and showcasing top U.S. athletes.” American Men’s Field Elkanah Kibet surprised race commentators during his marathon debut at the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon when he bolted to the front of the elite field with 22 miles to go and put a 15-second gap on the field.
