Houston Running: Houston Marathon Elite/Seeded Runners on HARRA Web Site

Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name: WalkSports.com

Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Houston Marathon Elite/Seeded Runners on HARRA Web Site

HARRA Footprints writer Edwin Quarles has obtained from Elite Athlete Committee Director David Chester a complete listing of the seeded and elite runners for this year's 2007 Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Houston Half Marathon. This list, which can be found on the HARRA website at http://www.harra.org, contains local invited runners as well, many of who are HARRA members.

All of this year's local invited runners are profiled in the January edition of HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running. If yours hasn't come in the mail yet, please pick a copy up at Inside Texas Running's booth at the Expo.

HARRA wishes all participants success in any of the events at this year's 35th anniversary Chevron Houston Marathon!

Anonymous said...: I wonder why Sean Wade is still on the list of half-marathoners. The doc must be a few days out of date.; 9:26 AM
WalkSports.com said...: It wasn't completely cleaned up when we got it, and I failed to take Sean off of there.

I'll get Sarah to modify the Excel file to note the change.; 9:30 AM
