31st Sweetheart Relay
2008 Results
Kwajalein Running Club's 2008 "Sweetheart Relay" 4 X 1 Mile foot race
was held Monday, February 11, 2008. This was the 31st Annual running.
Eighteen teams of four runners competed in the handicap event. This
compared to just ten teams in 2007.
Each runner was assigned a handicap in seconds based on an age/gender
based schedule published by the Scientific Journal "Runner's World" in
the late 1970s.
The participants varied in age from 5 all the way up to a few SSE
(Social Security Eligible) runners.
Each team's starting time was delayed based on the team total
handicap. A team of Kwaj Jr-Sr High School boys had to wait 13 minutes
and 28 seconds before trying to catch the highest handicap "Four Fives"
team made up of . . . four five year olds. The other sixteen teams were
started at computed intervals in between.
Complete results linked below, including some humorous team names.
The natural Kwajalein roads loop course used is the quad formed by
Lagoon Road, Ocean Road, 6th Street and 9th Street. It is actually 30
yards longer than one mile.
Though we started at 9:00am, it was unseasonably warm.
