RIF #1 Joshua Holmes and RIF #259 Rob Distante

It’s time for the August Extreme Racer update! Not much has changed since the July update though. RIF #159 Diane Bolton is still in the lead with 1387.9 points, followed by RIF #190 John Kent Leighton in 2nd with 1246.3 points, and RIF #1 Joshua Holmes in 3rd with 1185.6 points.

On the Women’s Leaderboard, Diane is in 1st, followed by RIF #287 Carol Earles in 2nd with 798.59 points, and RIF #218 Carol Goslin is back in 3rd with 748.3 points. On the Men’s Leaderboard, John is in 1st followed by Joshua in 2nd and RIF #279 George Southgate in 3rd with 1064.07 points.

Once again, the Top Ten is split evenly with 5 Women and 5 Men which is very cool to see! Many of the Top Ten…in fact, quite a few Run It Fast Club members, are racing addicts with 50, 100, and 200+ races under their belts. When you realize how much they race, it’s not suprising that the in the last 8 months, our RIF Club Members have raced 21,575.96 miles! That total is made up of 992 races, including:

-17 100 Milers
-19 50 Milers
-55 50Ks
-382 Marathons
-120 Half Marathons
-53 10Ks
-176 5Ks
-170 races of non-traditional distances.

And that’s just from 74 of the 299 club members reporting in! In total, 76 RIF Club members have submitted points and/or monthly miles so far for 2013 (only points count in the standings so only 74 RIF Club members are listed below).
