Rocket City Kids Marathon
Kick-Off Date: September 18, 2014
The Kids Marathon running/walking program designed for children kinder- garten through 8th grade. Children will run the distance of a full marathon (26.2 miles) over the course of 13 weeks.

There are NO official winners, but the event will be timed so your child can chart their progress from the beginning of their training in September until race day. Our goal is to get kids healthy and active.

ALICE “BABS” CHRISTY - 1951-2014
Babs Christy was not a runner, though she did walk a few HTC 5Ks when she could. However, Babs was "fully interac- tive" before the term was appropriated by the digital revolution and thus was an asset to the club. She absolutely loved to en- counter new people and offer assistance in any way. One of the highlights of her year - and a top priority - was the opportunity to John and Babs Christy help out at the Cotton Row registration. She loved to meet and greet folks who 20-MINUTE COGNITIVE WORKOUT were new to the CR.

Joan Benoit held the Women’s Olympic HTC DONATES TO PARK IMPROVEMENT Marathon record until it was broken in 2000
and is still the third best winning time. Interestingly Rosa Mota of Portugal, who was third in the first Olympic Marathon for women, won (2:25:40) the following 1988 Olympic Marathon beating Lisa Martin of Australia by just 13 seconds. Lisa Martin ran her first marathon at our Rocket City Marathon in 1983 and still holds the Rocket Steve Ivey, City women’s course record of 2:32:22.
On behalf of the Huntsville Track Club, I want to thank you for inviting our club to be part of the John Hunt Park improvement project. Our club is a significant user of the park, particularly the Cross Country Run- ning Trail and our membership is excited to be involved. In order to assist with the needs of the project the Huntsville Track Club has agreed to donate Five Thousand Dollars and will recruit as many volunteers for the Tree Huntsville Work Day scheduled for September 27 as well as any additional work days that may be scheduled in the fu- ture. We look forward to working together to make John Hunt Park a great place to en- joy for all of Huntsville.

I want to expand on that concept and give some suggestions on exercises that are easy to fit into your schedule. As a runner, getting your training miles in is likely more important to you than getting in other forms of physical activity.

The Huntsville Track Club will join the City of Huntsville, Toyota and Lowe's for a work day on the morning of Sept 27th as we give the park a face lift and execute plans to extend the Cross Country Running Trail. Everyone and anyone can help out. The work will consist of developing the trail with light shoveling, raking, etc., planting crepe myrtles, putting in a split rail fence and some painting as they do repairs/upgrade to the bathroom facilities.
The Huntsville Track Club recognizes that our members are some of the primary users of the running trail and has agreed to donate $5,000 towards upgrades to the park. This is a great way to give back to the community! We hope you will show your support by joining us.

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.

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.
