| NO - Devices which in any way impair your hearing, such as walkmans and CD players invalidate our insurance on the races. Use these items on your training runs but, please, not on the course during Guam Running Club races. Thank you! |
| Passing someone in the finisher's chute or immediately before is considered extremely impolite. Anyone passing another in the chute is, in fact, cheating. We don't think much of cheaters in these here parts, pardner! |

They are now. Our stance on baby joggers
in races is, if our insurance policy with Road Runners of Club
of America covers them we will allow them. Some years the RRCA
allows them and other years they don't. We do urge all who use baby joggers to exercise special care not to clip people in the heels as you come up behind and pass other runners. The burden is on you and not the other runners to exercise the utmost in caution safety in the use of your baby jogger. Especially if you're fast, don't see how close you can cut it behind the runner in front of you. Thanks! |

Yes indeed! The following GRC race courses are certified and, therefore, qualify to be recorded worldwide in the event a major record is set: *

| Deranged is one way to describe their state of mind; possession might be more apt. Actually the early founders of the Guam Running Club were only indirectly responsible for the races, having "come up with the idea" shortly after they experienced an alien abduction. The best we can piece together is that the Anasazi really invented the Mighty Nimitz and the Oopster during some extraterrestrial time- tour in which they visited Guam and telepathically implanted the idea in one of the Guam Running Club founder's minds. |
| That sounds like the sort of question the current president of this club would ask. He should just train more consistently and quit whining! |
| I'll get back to you on this one. We know that it began with the Perimeter Relay Around-the-Island Run. And we know that Bob Wade was one of those early conspirators, but whether the Guam Running Club was the brainchild of a single individual or a cooperative plan...it is all too shrouded in mystery to be certain. |
| We're able to keep the prices so low because all of our folks organizing the races are unpaid volunteers and our sponsors like Gatorade, Pepsi and Hornet, Caronel/Timex, Shell, Dominos Pizza, Hit Radio 100, Shirley's Coffee Shop. Pacific Islands Club, Duty Free, Creativitees, Pacific Daily News and others donate so much of what is needed to put these races on. |
.I'll
need to research a bit to say how many more are certified.
