David McCorquodale

Hall of Fame induction:  Mar 3, 2007

Dave joined PCVRC in 1996. Although not an extremely long tenure for a Hall of Fame nomination, Dave as spent nearly the entire ten years as a board member. Dave?s efforts are priceless as he has been the editor of the Pacer in years past, has started fun runs on a weekly basis, started a yearly tradition on Labor Day with McCorq?s Fun Run from his house, and was Vice President for a short time. He has also volunteered at races and attended nearly every function PCVRC has put together over the past ten years.

Currently Dave is in charge of the E-Bulletins that most of you receive throughout the year and puts in a lot of time on the board attending meetings, helping make decisions for the club, and generally is one of a select group of members who have been instrumental in keeping the club going the past few years.

As for his running accomplishments, Dave started running at the age of 48. Running in a pair of cross training shoes, he ran minimal mileage for the first couple of years. Approaching fifty, Dave started training for real by running a three mile loop around Delcastle in which he raced against himself every time out. He was training for a five miler that was held at Delcastle that year and was only a mile from his house. So he was going to give it a try. In his first race he placed third in his age group and was now hooked for life.! Dave has since run 44 Marathons. Including his last one in Feb. Also included is an ultra and two Stumpy?s Marathons. What is a Stumpy?s Marathon anyway? Like other serious runners, Dave loves the challenge of qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon which he has done eight times and hopefully more in the future.
