Congratulations to John Phillips of Seattle, on his Silver Medal at the prestigious “Carlsbad 5000“. John’s time was 26:05. Billed as “the fastest and most competitive 5k in the world”, the race attracts the world’s elite. World records fall at “The Bad” in Carlsbad.
The Silver Strider magazine now ,ranks John Phillips #2 (Men 80-84) in the world.
Watch for John’s article describing his experience. Coming on April 25th.
The overall “Bad” winner was Edwin Kurgat of Kenya in 13:47! Edwin nipped Matt Baxter (13:48) of New Zeland by one second!
Also competing this year was Steilacoom’s Mike Henderson age 74, who finished 10th in the men’s 70-74 age group. Mike’s time was 26:31.

We have been asked if we would like to register as a team for some of the races on our schedule. There would be entry fee discounts for all TCMA races and possibly others. We would need a team captain to organize things.
Here is the message from Sherry Clarke (TCMA).
Now that we’re (TCMA) on RunSignup, we now have “team” discount pricing setup for groups who register (either all together or individually but join the same “team”). If your folks wanted to create a “Silver Striders” team, then as everyone registers (as long as they search for the team and say that they want to join during registration), the more people that join the team, the bigger the discount. Discounts are applied (and refunds are sent) as teams meet different requirements…teams will get $5 off registration if they have 4+ people, once it hits 10 people, they’ll get $10 off registration, and if the team reaches 15 people (or more), each person will end up with a $15 refund. Again, these refunds are automatically sent to participants as the team group size reaches those quantities, but it could be a good option for your group to save more money on registration.

We don’t have a 5k or 10k race on our series schedule in the month of August. July and August are our busiest time of the year. Our schedule contains two half marathons. What about our older runners who aren’t doing Half Marathons? I have decided to add a 5k to our schedule on August 24th. It is flat, fast, certified and the entry fee is $15. No shirts, medals or swag. Just an old fashioned race. Good for the TOP IO, Super Athlete, or just a chance to get together during the month of August. The race is the “Pace or Race 5k” in Parkland. I have posted their ad on Monday the 8th. Click on it to go to their webpage for information.

From ParkRun Race Director – Information on how to update a profile on the parkrun website, as we often get emails from Silver Striders who want to have your group included next to their name in the results section.
If your members want to update their profile, we’re unable to do that on our end. They will need to log on to the parkrun registration website,
www.parkrun.com/signin
Once they sign in there is a menu of items including ‘Groups.’ Clicking on that opens a new page where you can add the running group you are part of.
