2009 Colorado Running Hall of Fame induction set May 13
Boulder Daily Camera: ” Sooner or later, the Colorado Running Hall of Fame may want to consider opening a Boulder wing. Of the eight inductees for the class of 2009 — the third overall class in the Hall — at least five have strong Boulder connections, continuing a trend that began with the induction of the inaugural class in 2007.
This year’s class, to be inducted at a May 13 ceremony at the Denver Athletic Club, consists of Rich Castro, Alan Culpepper, Benji Durden, Kim Jones, Creigh Kelley, Stan Mavis, Maureen Roben and Jerry Quiller.”

First-class start for Colorado’s running Hall
Denver Post:
“From Boulder to Alamosa and Denver to Gunnison, Colorado abounds with people who have made monumental contributions to the sport of distance running at the recreational, national and international levels.
“They have made this state an international running mecca, the envy of runners across the rest of the country, a home for multiple Olympic medalists, world champions and former world- record holders. They have helped make Denver-Boulder No. 1 in the U.S. for runners per capita and the Bolder Boulder one of the world’s largest road races.
“So it’s about time somebody created a Colorado Running Hall of Fame. Thanks to the organizers of the Colorado Colfax Marathon, the long-overdue Hall becomes a reality May 18.”
