One of the things V.M.C .members are very conscious of is out desire to pursue our sport with the least restrictions placed upon us in the way of red tape and unnecessary work. At this stage we are only partly succeeding,thanks to a limited nutober of people who are interpreting this awareness into action and jumping in to do necessary jobs which others are omitting to take on as a matter of natural obligation from time to time.To overcome this state of affairs and ensure a more equitable way of sharing in the exe­ cution of necessary chores,we have instituted a roster system which is gradually over­ coming some of our organisational problems.Now that we are going well beyond the 500 in terms of membership,I believe that there is‘ a growing realisation for the need to find alternate methods of organisation to avoid folding up through sheer weight of numbers or creating a bureaucracy whioh will besome more important than the sport« I also believe that it is vital for all of us to understand what is involved to keep us on an -even keel,to what extent we,as individuals, can do all the time so that work does not heap up for just a few.Those of our members who are attending to various official or-administrative tasks,whther on roster or not,need to have .full information given to them in a clearly understood and written manner,to the extent where it will eliminate back-checking and other queries which eat heavily into our time.We are all busy people and we must respe<8£ the other person's right to his or her time.lh.cn entering,timing or recording we have to be aware that the details we give are of interest in a whole num­ ber of wayss Finance,Membership,Trophy and Handicap records are either up-to-date or faulty according to your entry information.In addition tho media also have a stake in pre-race publicity,so let us have a look at an Entry Records DATE!(Recorder,a rostered member) DISTANCE*(Recorder,sparate sheets for long VENUES (Recorder) or short race) NUMBER OP STARTERS s (Recorder-final total) WMTBERs ___ ______________ _______________________ PAGEs ‘ 1 OF 2 (Recorder)______________ START NO.'

In recording the finish,competitors must stay in order of finishing until they have mn.de sure that the finish recorder has physically recorded ALL the relevant details on the sheet.ALL FINISHING (actual times)TIMES go into the first column' after the full names.the next three columns (Handicap,Nett Time,H1cap Place) are for the Handicappers use only and must remain blank.Veteran.Junior & Women details Must appear- again in the last column. We do not want a repetition of your Treasurer and your Competition Secretary spending two hours on the phone sorting out the mess after the Falen Comrades races,In future, if your details are incomplete,you will not be considered for any category that you may have been eligible for apart from the open handicap,neither will you be making your­ self popular, or even noticed,with the handicapperw,selectors or veterans,men or women. Participation in athletics is on the up,the growth in numbers involved in Fun Runs,not to speak of events conducted by the VMC,a completely new picture is emerging and we need to study the trends so that we can channel them into ways of benefitting people's health and enj oympnt, the joy and senseof achievement by doing things for yourself.There is a very real danger of super-imposing commercial values on what should be an antidote to the money rat.race. It is also becoming more obvious* that we need not fear races or fun runs clashing with each other,we need to look forward to providing additonal and varied opportunities. First claim clubs need to organise within their own areas to cater for growing numbers aiid boldly go "ahead.If ,y£>u can organise participation,pinners will find their way to your promotion from all over the piece .There is. a. limit to what extent' the VAAA or the VMC can cater adequately through their* own organisation,but they can give support to projects of similar aims.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • About Finish Line
    “It’s a story with particular heft for Bostonians, of course. But it’s also a story with universal appeal, about the strength of the human spirit.” – The Boston Globe ABOUT FINISH LINE From March 15-26, 2017, the world premiere of Finish Line: A Documentary Play About the 2013 Boston Marathon was presented by the Boch Center in association with Boston Theater Company at the Boch Center Shubert Theatre. Finish Line brings a story of recovery, resilience, and determination center stage. Through a transcript created verbatim from dozens of interviews, Finish Line uses powerful firsthand accounts to show how a community came together to heal and grow stronger in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. It does not focus on the act of terror itself but rather on the people whose lives were impacted. Directed and co-created by Joey Frangieh and co-created by Lisa Rafferty, the documentary style production features interviews from survivors, runners, doctors, police officers, spectators, journalists, clergy, and students. These include Liz Norden, mother of two sons injured in the bombings, news anchor Maria Stephanos, Massachusetts General Hospital trauma surgeon Dr. David R. King, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, 1976 Marathon winner Jack Fultz, and Boston Globe photographer John Tlumacki, among many others. A team began interviews for Finish Line in March 2015. In total, 94 individuals were interviewed for the project. After holding seven workshops, preview performances of Finish Line were presented in a 50 seat conference room in April 2016 and received an overwhelming response from audiences. Over the next year, Boston Theater Company and the Boch Center worked together to conduct more interviews, make changes to the script, hold auditions, design a set, and much more that led to the world premiere of Finish Line at the 1,500 seat Shubert Theatre in March 2017.

Explicit formulae for two practical cases are derived, and their applications are demonstrated using an example. c 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Sports; Records; Survival times; Non-homogeneous Poisson process 1. Introduction Let R¿0 and S¿0 be two random variables with respective distribution functions FR(:) and FS (:). Suppose R, the record in a given sport, is subject to set of events (attempts) S. Then the record breaks if the value of S exceeds (subceeds) R. The value of S is a function of the type of sport, number of participants, prize, training, environmental factors such as temperature, altitude, etc., and factors important to the athletes and the public. The value of R depends on factors such as the type and popularity of the sport, amount of rewards or prizes, number of formal competitions, etc. The probability of breaking a record is then ∞ P(S¿R)=p =1− FS (x)dFR(x); 0 where p is the probability of breaking a record in a single attempt.
