MISSISSIPPI
STATE ROAD RACING RECORDS
The website for state records is at: http://www.staterunningrecords.com/
Results from races run on certified road courses should
be forwarded to: Buck Jones at: ms@staterunningrecords.com
Results should contain the
following data for all runners:
Runner’s
name
Runner’s
time
Runner’s
age
Runner’s
hometown
Date
and location of the race at the top of the results
Course
certification number at the top of the results
Be
sure to keep entry/registration forms handy for a period of time to retrieve
birth dates for only those runners setting state records
The Mississippi State Records are kept on a strictly volunteer
basis and no compensation is taken or accepted by the record keeper. The records
may be copied and printed in newsletters or other publications as desired.
Most of the work has been done on the 10k at this point.
All of the records compiled in the 10k have been taken from the Gum Tree and
Coca Cola 10k races at this point. It is hoped that other races and clubs in
Mississippi will contact the record keeper with race results from certified 10k
races run both currently and around the state in past years.
The marathon and half marathon records list have several
races from Jackson, Ridgeland and Tupelo compiled into each but are composed of
mostly pending records at this time due to missing birth dates of the runners to
confirm records.
There are probably more 5k races in Mississippi
than any other distance but very few of them have gotten course certifications.
Please contact Buck Jones above for Information on how to get your race
certified.
