I am looking for a website that lists the top times run for road racing distances (i.e., top 10K times by 60 year old males in 2007 or 2008) by age in the USA. Not age graded, but actual race times.

This one gives top performances by age/gender for 5k, 10k, HM, and marathon. It will also list all races that have been reported, regardless of distance, for individual names. If you sign up (free) you can have it search for all races reported than you have run and "claim" them and get points that will be compared with other runners. The races that you claim have to be run on certified courses to be eligible for points, but when it lists top times at various distances it doesn't seem to matter. Some were obviously run on short courses. http://www.active.com/rankings/index.cfm?CHECKSSO=0&REF=rusa&ACTIVE=do%2Ehome

Age 60 plus best times: 5k 19:00, 10k 38:35, 10m 1:05:30, HM 1:24:09, 30k 2:04:33

Thanks Jim--very fascinating to look at. I haven't put myself in for points yet but will do it for fun. I love new toys. Being old and continuing to run well has great advantages, as you well know.
