Time flies when you’re miling fun: Enter 10th annual Portland mile
Dave Clingan writes about his Oregon Masters Mile on June 14: “Yes, we are about to celebrate our 10th year of world-class masters mile competitions during which four American records and three world records have been broken in Portland, Oregon. As usual, prize money in the amounts of $200, $150 and $100 will be given to first-, second- and third-place finishers, plus $100 for the top age-graded time. The top 15 entries will compete in the A section and a B section will be added if needed. This year, every participant in the seeded section will receive a commemorative plaque and all runners are invited to a postrace celebration featuring a round of Oregon’s finest micro-brews to toast the event (and my 60th birthday!). The field is limited, so please contact me if you are a yes, no or maybe this year. Hope to see you there! ” Oh my, the big 6-0! I guess I’m getting up there, too, since Dave is only a few days older.
Here’s the start of 2012 race. How many superstars can you pick out?
