Select our RACES button for complete information. ERC President Tim Taft started running in college because he “had to ” in a gym class. Over the next few years, he started running more and more. His first race was a 5 miler. He ran off and on for a number of years doing races of various lengths before running his first marathon, the 1993 Marine Corp Marathon. Two years later he participated in the San Francisco Marathon w/ Team in Training. Tim and his lovely wife have three young boys to chase after. Having kids shifted his priorities which stalled his running efforts for a few years. Tim picked running back up briefly in 2004 to finish another marathon and eventually started running consistantly in 2008. Tim has been part of ERC for the last couple of years and has completed 13 marathons (one of which was an ultra), and is also a member of the Marathon Maniacs(#1894). He enjoys both road running and trail running and is an advocate of Jeff Galloway ’s run/walk method of marathoning which allowed him to knock about 25 minutes off of his marathon PR. Tim also follows Hal Higdon ’s advice limiting running to 3-4 times per week. Tim's short term goals are to run a few more marathons in 2010 and at least one more ultra. Further, he aspires to be a president that will encourage others to join our club and enjoy running. His long term goals are to run 100 marathons and be able to continue running into his 70s and 80s. <%
