Texstats is the official state recordkeeper for Texas road racing, recognized as such by the Road Running Information Center of USA Track and Field. Inside Texas Running magazine is a patron of Texstats, and will publish State records and State "bests" on a regular basis both in its print publication and this website.

Even low-key, small events run on certified courses should report their results. According to the USATF Road Running Information Center, "most events have at least one national ranking or state record."

Race directors: If your event has USATF course certification, you owe it to your runners to submit results for record consideration. For information on how to properly submit your results, please read "How to submit your event's results to TexStats and Inside Texas Running".

Request an "Application For The Recognition of Road Race Performances" by sending your name and address to Lance Phegley, Texas State Recordkeeper, P.O. Box 19909, Houston, TX 77224 or via e-mail at rtnews@ix.netcom.com. You may also request these forms from the USA Track & Field Road Running Information Center, 5522 Camino Cerralvo, Santa Barbara, CA 93111-1003.

Texstats forwards all submitted results with application forms to the Road Running Information Center.
