Gang,
I just got back from Norm Klein's new 24-hour track run at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento. The race is run on a nice quarter-mile dirt and decomposed-granite track, with burrowing owls flying around for entertainment much of the race.
It was a fun weekend, and there were several notable performances. Conditions were pretty good: low clouds, cool and windy on Saturday morning, probably mid-80s in the afternoon, temperatures in the 50s or so at night, and a nice clear Sunday-morning finish. A lot of people suffered some from the heat, since the area and most of California had not really warmed up yet that year.
More in a race report later from me, as a volunteer lap counter, or someone else there. I wanted to post the preliminary results. In the original list, women were marked with an asterisk.
The age and state columns printed in the 2006 post have been omitted here, because the entrants are private individuals rather than public figures.

Notes From the Original Results
- Several Cosumnes River College students put together a relay team, generally running shifts of half an hour to one hour.
- Gene Weddle entered as a solo runner but switched to a relay with his wife partway through the run.
- Dan Marinsik's daughter Danielle and her brother Stephen entered as a two-person relay.
- Susan Gomez had passed 50 km when she was notified by phone that her father had died while she was at the race. The race was stopped for several minutes while Norm delivered the news to the other runners and spectators. Sharlene Wills gave a short prayer before the runners were asked to walk a lap in memory of her father.
Thanks,
Dave
