David Bowden, nationally ranked masters runner. 4:34 mile @ ~41 or something?

he raced a horse..

Bowden, the Boyd Anderson track and cross country coach who recently finished ninth in the New York Road Runners Mercedes Mile on Fifth Avenue in 4:34.98, will race a trotter one-eighth of a mile on the dirt track.

they had a masters championship in palm aire.. i think that's where my grandpa eventually moved.

i should highlight the races that are still active.

Keno's first win. (he's one of the best grand masters runners in FL, and grand master marathoners in the US).

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-03-01-9802280168-story.html

Four years after buying his first pair of running shoes and armful of running books, Brian Keno of Fort Lauderdale won his first road race Saturday at the Westfair 5K Run at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds.

Keno, who turns 36 today, overtook a small pack of runners midway through the race and ran uncontested for the last half-mile to win in 15 minutes and 58 seconds. Keno, a consistent age group finisher, has been running competitively since late 1993.

jingle bell jog, 1984:

The 12th Jingle Bell Jog 5K and Fitness Walk, started in 1984 at the suggestion of Edward Bleckner after undergoing heart bypass surgery, is Saturday at Racal-Datacom in the Sawgrass International Corporate Park. The race begins at 8 a.m.

Defending champions Ronnie Holassie (14:39) of Miami and Mary Level Menton of Coral Springs (16:58) are expected to return. Last year's event attracted 1,400 runners and walkers.

jesus ^^



hah sux.

Because of misplaced race results, the Holiday Fantasy of Lights will not be used in the South Florida Grand Prix Series scoring according to South Florida Striders' president Brian Keno.

A stringer full of runners' names was lost during the race making it impossible to score the race completely an apologetic Keno said. The series will now score only nine races. ...

one of the first chip timed races in SFL, Lighthouse 5k in 1996

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1996-11-10-9611090276-story.html

In brisk 60-degree weather, the Real Time Champion Chip made its Florida road race debut.

The revolutionary computer scoring system, introduced by Rick Stern of Weston and his company Split Second Timing, alleviates the need for separate chutes, handtimers and volunteers. It was used at Boston and the Olympics.

oooh found an interesting article:

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1995-11-03-9511020628-story.html

The first big weekend name race, Saturday's fourth Home Depot Scholarship Run in Parkland, will serve as a gauge whether running's popularity is waning in South Florida.

After four weeks of road racing, race directors are concerned with the the dropoff in participation. Thus far, there is a 40 percent drop in road racing compared to 1994 races in October.

The creation of the South Florida Grand Prix Race Series, has done little to increase interest, much to the dismay of Dan Healy, Fort Lauderdale Road Runners president and co-race director of Saturday's event.

also has some grand prix race leaderboard:
