Cindy Dalrymple

(1942-2022)

Cindy Dalrymple was a pioneer in women’s running in Hawaii. Her performances on the track at the University of Hawaii in the 1960s and on the roads in the 1970s and 1980s were outstanding. At UH, then Cindy Hegarty, was a half-miler, the longest distance for women at that time. Her national and international results included:

  • 1963 NCAA Championship (880 yards – fourth place)
  • 1964 NCAA Championship (880 yards – fifth place)
  • 1963 Pan American Games (880 yards – fourth place)

After marrying and having two sons, Cindy returned to running in 1974 and dominated women’s running in Hawaii until moving to the Mainland in 1980. Highlights included:

  • 1974 Honolulu Marathon (first, 3:01:59)
  • 1975 Honolulu Marathon (second, 2:54:15)
  • 1975 Big Island Marathon (first, 3:18:17)
  • 1976 Honolulu Marathon (second, 2:48:01)
  • 1976 Big Island Marathon (first, 3:07:47)

  • 1978-1980 All-Women’s 10K (first, 35:56, 36:19, 34:47)

After moving to the Mainland in 1980, Cindy set a marathon PR of 2:39:32 at the age of 39, when she placed first at the 1981 Jordache Pro-Am Marathon.

When she turned 40 she continued to set records and won 79 consecutive races in her age group as a master runner. During her career of almost two decades, Cindy competed in 46 marathons, 10 of which she placed first among women.  She also ran hundreds of other races and set records in 5 kilometer, 10 kilometer, and half-marathon races. She was featured in magazines such as Runners World, Sports Illustrated and Running Times.

During this time she also helped teach running clinics, developed and published a runners training diet and training regime, and helped start a magazine called Master Runner.  She was ranked number one among master runners worldwide by Running Times and Runner Magazine for three consecutive years.  She inspired many people to reach their goals in fitness and competition. Running was her sport, she loved to compete and she loved to win. But winning wasn’t everything.

After retiring from professional running, she continued to maintain friendships with other runners and keep up with the sport and its new runners. She renewed her teaching certification and began teaching high school. She taught math, chemistry, PE, and of course organized running teams.

In 1995 she moved to Arkansas to be close to her grandkids, she continued teaching and coaching until she retired from teaching. She even completed a 5k in her 70s after a hip replacement. She has two sons, Jonathan Dalrymple and Steve Dalrymple, and two grandsons, Tommy Dalrymple and Tyler Dalrymple.  Cindy passed away in 2022.

Gordon Dugan

Kāne Ng-Osorio on November 16, 2023

Gordon Dugan was born in Illinois and grew up in Colville, Washington.  He started running in grad school in California, but really became a serious runner after moving to Hawaii in 1971. 

Gordon’s running forte was the ultra-distance races during a span of 37 years.  At the national level during the 1970s and 1980s, Gordon conquered the Western States 100 Miler seven times.  Four times from that race, he brought home the coveted Silver Belt Buckle, awarded to runners who completed the distance in under 24 hours.  In 1977, Gordon was the masters champion at the AAU 50-Mile Championship, held in Santa Monica, California.

In Hawaii, among many impressive finishes, the following are a sample of races won by Gordon:

  • 1975 Hawaii 50 Mile Run at Schofield Barracks
  • 1980 100KM Primo Relay Ultra
  • 1986 50 Mile Bud Light Ultra
  • 1987 50 Mile Bud Light Ultra
  • 1990 100KM Honolulu City Lights Ultra

In 2007, Gordon was one of three runners inducted into the Honolulu Marathon Hall of Fame.  Gordon and the other two were the only ones to have finished the Honolulu Marathon 34 consecutive years, including the inaugural race in 1973.  In 1985 and 1986, Gordon and his son, Patrick, won the father-son division in the Honolulu Marathon.  Amazingly, Gordon accomplished one of his last Honolulu Marathons in a walking boot.

Gordon served as president of the Mid-Pacific Road Runners Club two times in the 1980s.  In addition, Gordon helped guide the very first Ironman Triathlon, held in Honolulu in 1978.

Gordon earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in civil engineering at Washington State, and his PhD in Environmental Health Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley.  Gordon is a University of Hawaii Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering.  Gordon and his wife, Barbara, reside in Honolulu and have been married for 68 years.  They have four children, Patrick, Suzanne, Daniel and Samuel.

Johnny Faerber

hirunning on March 11, 2022

Johnny Faerber is a prominent figure in Hawaii’s running history for his performances in the open and masters’ divisions, as well as for his successful coaching career. He has inspired, nurtured, and motivated hundreds of aspiring runners throughout his extensive coaching career.

Born in Romania, Johnny spent much of his childhood in German refugee camps before migrating to the United States in 1952. He lettered in cross country in Los Angeles and has been involved with cross country, track, or road racing in one way or another since then. In the military, he became an Army airborne officer and completed Ranger and Special Forces School. After the military, he joined the Peace Corps and was assigned to the Hawaii Training Center in 1963, eventually joining the University of Hawaii track team in 1964.

Highlights

  • Johnny’s first real taste of victory came in the1957 National Burro Derby in Southern California, a 43-mile trek through the desert with a burro in tow. He won the race 2 more times (1960 and 1966).
  • Won the Hawaiian Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Marathon in 1967 and 1969.
  • Won the first Maui Marathon in 1971.
  • Named “Runner of the Year” in 1971 by the Mid-Pacific Road Runners Club.

  • Recorded a 2:36.47 at age 41 in the 1977 Honolulu Marathon.
  • Internationally, was 3rd overall in the Hungary Marathon, 4th overall in the Tahiti Marathon and competed successfully in other international long-distance events.

Coaching

Johnny is probably best known for his coaching style and success. He coached at Mid Pacific Institute for two years, then at the University of Hawaii for nearly 30 years (1972-2000). He has a running club named after him, the Faerber’s Flyers, which started in 1980 as an all-women’s running club. In 1982, the Faerber’s Flyers organized the first All Men’s 10K with over 900 entrants. The race later became co-ed and was re-named the Johnny Faerber 10K, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year.

Johnny is a certified national official for track and field and officiates for USA Track and Field (USATF) events in Eugene, including the Prefontaine and the upcoming World Championships in July 2022.

Johnny and his wife Janet have lived in Cottage Grove, Oregon since 2002. Janet passed away in March 2022.

Scott Hamilton

hirunning on December 26, 2022

1928 – 2005

Scott Hamilton’s contributions to the sport of running are as impressive as his prowess as a runner. Scott was an active runner for roughly 40 years, dominating the Hawaii running scene as a masters runner in the ‘60’s through the ‘80’s. He typically placed or won his age division in international and national events (e.g., 1975 Toronto 10K, 1969 Pikes Peak marathon). His wide-ranging devotion to running and his generous acts in every aspect of the sport are unparalleled.  His many contributions include:

  • Scott is considered one of the pioneers of the Mid-Pacific Road Runners Club and founded and managed the Tantalus Marathoners (an organization that complemented MPRRC) which entered 3-4 relay teams in around-the-island relays.
  • A prodigious information chronicler, Scott wrote the Mid-Pacific Road Runners Club history in the late 70s/early 80s. He kept well-organized copious volumes of large binder scrapbooks full of photos, news clippings, and club events. 
  • Scott established the Scott Hamilton Award to pay tribute to outstanding leaders in running at the national level.
  • Scott founded Camp Hamilton in 1979, a running camp on the north shore replete with star speakers, running and relaxation, and socializing.
  • To demonstrate how slow and antiquated the local buses were, in 1969 Scott raced and beat a bus on the 10-mile route from Pearl Harbor to Waikiki. The event received much media attention, and a few improvements were made.

 Scott was born on February 20, 1928 in Fayetteville, Arkansas and died on July 30, 2005 in Little Rock at the age of 77. He received degrees from Cornell University, Oxford University and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard with an M.A. in Public Administration. He served as an Air Force officer in Korea and Japan. He studied under Frank Lloyd Wright as a Taliesin Fellowship apprentice, worked as a designer in France and Finland, before serving as City Planner in Anchorage. He was a member of Oxford’s first Himalayan Expedition to Mount Haramosh in 1957.

Gerry Lindgren

Kāne Ng-Osorio on November 16, 2023

Olympian Gerald “Gerry” Paul Lindgren moved to Hawaii 44 years ago in 1980.  He has been active in the local running community coaching runners in his own Coconut Runners Club both on the track and road for many years.  He also led the 4-mile run from Niketown every Wednesday for more than 10 years until the store closed.  More recently he has coached for the Hawaii Running Project.  He has given talks to cross country teams at local high schools, at Mid-Pacific Road Runner events and has coached runners everywhere over the internet.  

Gerry’s running accomplishments as a world class champion during high school, college and beyond are well documented.  By the time Gerry moved to Hawaii he could no longer compete in national/ international competitions, plagued by injuries that hampered him throughout his career.  Still, he entered many local races often winning his age group and completed 14 Honolulu marathons.  

“I couldn’t let America down. I had to do my best.”

In 2022, the Collegiate Athlete Track & Field and Cross Country Hall of Fame inducted Gerry in their inaugural event.  At the induction banquet they mentioned the 1964 USSR vs US Dual meet where the then 18-year-old in his first international meet beat the Russians in the 10,000.   At the time considered one of the greatest accomplishments in U.S. track history.  “I knew people would judge our system by this one race.  I couldn’t let America down.  I had to do my best.”

Another notable race occurred in 1969 at the Hawaii Invitational, AAU International Track and Field Championships, 2-mile race at Honolulu (Punahou track) between 18-year-old Steve Prefontaine, 23-year-old Gerry Lindgren, Frank Shorter and Marty Liquori.  Gerry wins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csZGZZMLkOc

Some say, possibly America’s greatest ever high school distance runner.

Highlights of Gerry’s running career:

  • 8 high school world records
    • 5000-meter record that stood for 40 years until 2004 (13:44, 2nd all-time U.S.)
    • Indoor two-mile record that stood for 49 years until 2013 (8:40, 2nd all-time in-doors, PR-8:34 in 1967)
  • 1964 Track and Field News Highschool Athlete of the Year
  • 1964 US-USSR Dual Meet (10,000, 29:17)

    • Three-straight titles in both the 3-mile/5000 meters and 6-mile/10,000 meters outdoors, the first to do so in either event.
  • 57 American records – 3,000 (7:58), 5,000 (13:33), 10,000 (28:40), and 3-mile (12:53). He set the American records twice each in the 3,000 and 5,000.  Records encompass outdoor, indoor and cross-country.
  • 11 American high school records – 3,000 indoors (8:06), 10,000 (29:17), and 3-mile (13:17)
    • 1-mile (4:01) 2nd fastest in history in 1964

Inducted into the:

  • National High School Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1964
  • Washington State University Hall of Fame in 1978
  • Washington State Sports Hall of Fame in 1979
  • Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) Distance Running Hall of Fame in 1999
  • National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2004
  • National Distance Running Hall of Fame in 2006
  • Collegiate Athlete Track & Field and Cross Country Hall of Fame Inaugural event in 2022
  • Hawaii Running Hall of Fame in 2024

Although Gerry’s most notable running achievements were outside of Hawaii when he was younger, it is through that experience and dedication to running that inspired those that ran with and were coached by him in Hawaii.  His induction into the Hawaii Running Hall of Fame is to recognize him for a lifetime of achievement representing the U.S and therefore Hawaii on the world and national stage as well as his many years of contributing to the local running community.

Gerry works at the University of Hawaii in the Building and Maintenance Department and lives in Hawaii Kai.  He enjoys gardening and is immensely proud of his Koi pond.
