DCRRC Age Handicapped 4 Mile
Belle Haven, Alexandria, VA
Friday, July 4, 2003
Conducted by DC Road Runners Club

In this unusual race, each age group started at a different time, enabling runners to declare independence from their ages.

Age and gender handicaps were calculated based on the age-graded tables established by World Masters Athletics, formerly known as the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA). Since there were no tables for the 4-Mile distance, the handicaps were based on the mean differential set forth in the tables for 5 Kilometers and 8 Kilometers.

The WAVA performance level used for these calculations was 75 percent, defined as "regional class." An arbitrary handicap between men and women has evolved with several years of experience in this race.

Betty Blank, age 50, of Falls Church VA, (pictured below) won the race overall, followed by local star Glen Mays of Washington DC. The closer runners finished to the front, the closer they are to the top runners in their age-groups worldwide.

The column labelled "Net Time" is the actual amount of time needed to cover the 4 miles. The "Total Time" is the time on the clock when the runner finished.
