Subject: Cornbelt 24 Hour Run - potential records for William Allen

Pending ratification, William Allen, 47, of Prince Frederick, MD may have established two new American Masters Track records for the 45-49 age division at the 2008 Cornbelt Running Club 24 Hour Race. Bill potentially ran two new records finishing the 100 mile in 15:17:19 and the 200,000 meter record in 20:29:04. The current records, 100 miles in 15:20:45 and 200,000 meters in 20:34:48 were set by Roy Pirrung at the 1996 Cornbelt Running Club 24 Hour Race. (more…)
