A special USRSA salute: to John Wallace, III, who ran 3,800 miles across the United States (west to east) from September 26, 2004 through January 27, 2005.

 

Another special USRSA salute: to Karen and John Wallace, Jr., who ran 1,300 miles across the United States (north to south) from July 7, 2007 through September 26, 2007.

 

Yet another special USRSA salute to George Hancock, who published the first running streak list in 1994.

 

In 1998 I developed the concept for “an official repository for running streak records” in a letter to George Hancock.  George lent his support to the idea, and I proceeded to rough up drafts for articles of incorporation and by-laws to create such an organization.  I then hired an attorney in 1999 to proceed with incorporation, and the United States Running Streak Association, Inc. officially received its charter as a non-profit organization from the State of Maryland on August 7, 2000.

 

In keeping with that original goal this 2009 Yearbook was published by the U. S. Running Streak Association, Inc. to honor the running and racing exploits of all its members.

 

This effort is dedicated to the likes of Carroll Wright, Barbara Latta and all those others such as myself, who dare to see in themselves the athletes who can compete in the same races with the likes of Mark Covert, Jon Sutherland, Don Slusser and the other champions of the USRSA. 

                                                                 “I looked for my hero, and he is me.” Pogo.   

 

This is also the place for another special USRSA salute: to Craig Snapp, Steve DeBoer, George Hancock and those others who write for The Streak Registry on a regular or somewhat regular basis.  Any organization is only as good as the members who support it.  The future of the USRSA lies in the hands of those of us who are proud enough of their running accomplishments, including their running streaks, to share the knowledge they gleaned through their years of running with those of lesser experience.

 

And still another special USRSA salute: to Steve Morrow and John Wallace, III for their massive efforts in developing and maintaining the USRSA website at www.runeveryday.com.  Where, fellow road warriors, would we be without your superb efforts?  

 

Finally, thank you to all the many of you who have faithfully supported the cause with your dues throughout the years.  The USRSA has attempted to remain as all-inclusive as possible, and for that reason has not raised its dues from the beginning.  We also use the additional donations made by some members to pay the dues for those who cannot otherwise afford membership.  So if and when you can, please send a little extra to assist your brother and sister streak runners who may be less fortunate.

 

Dawn and I continue to enjoy this mighty labor of love.  Good running to all.  John Strumsky.
