Runner winning money deceitfully

Julius ran the Lou Cox 5k on May 29th, 2017 claiming to be in the 40-44 age group. He was third overall and first masters runner:

On June 7th he ran the Columbus 10k and was third overall, claiming to be 39 years old.

Lou Cox 5k offers bonus prize money for masters runners, 10k does not. Backing up OPs claim.

That makes me SMART.

REEEEELLAXXX

Just consider yourself lucky that the Connecticut high school boy doesn't wake up tomorrow and decide he's 40.

That is dirty, anything for a buck. I think Toledo is taking over for Hebron Kentucky with a large stable of Kenyans with some questionables.

When you compare this to those who cheat for Boston qualifiers, this is much worse to me. This guy is taking cash directly out of someone else's pocket, and looking them in the eye while doing it.

From the three races I posted, $1,300

Are you guys gonna get outta mom's basement and do something or just bitch about it on the interweb?

Dave's running store in Toledo started bringing over Kenyans when Matt Folk opened up the Second Sole in Toledo (and was winning all the local races).

In a nursing home somewhere, solomon haile is laughing at this thread.

Are you sure this isn't one of those cases where there are two runners with the same name?

I'm fairly content to just castigate him and make oblique, empty threats about pushing him into a lamppost.

Cutting off his balls seems like an extreme punishment and a disproportionate reaction.

No more excuses wrote:

As a masters runne myself, I don't seethe big deal. Just train harder and beat him.

The big deal is that I have a full time job and a family to chase around after work. He has to work a couple hours a week at the running store that sponsors him, otherwise can train all he wants.

Come on, give the guy a break. He broke one little rule to benefit himself. Who cares if there were a few victims. Who here hasn't done something like that before?

Well, those are the facts regardless of his age. The issue isn't that he gets to train more than you, the issue is that he isn't 40 so shouldn't be in your age category for a few months. When he moves up, complaining about his lifestyle doesn't seem overly reasonable.

At that point, we just need to accept that he is better than us (and basically every other masters runner in the country except a handful (Castille, Clint Wells, Meb, Lagat, a couple of others maybe) and delude ourselves into feeling better about by focusing on the security that comes with full time, gainful employment.

Wow! For so many honesty and integrity are nonexistent.

I know you think you are hot stuff. But you still aren't placing
