Maine Track Club Old Movies

We have a number of  8mm movies date back to 1979 and run into the 1980's.

The film clip is off one of the reels  (Olympia, Fyalka 10K, & Labor Day 10K)

Other reels are: 1981 Nike Coast Marathon (10 min); 1981 April Amble 4 miler, Rice 10K & Lewiston 10K (10 min);  1979 Kingfield 10K, James Bailey XC & Casco Bay Maratgon (15 min); 1981 Bermuda 10K & Matathon (13 min);  1980 Portland Boy's Club 5 Miler, April Amblem Rice 10Km Waynflete & the WGAN-TV 13K (15 min); 1980 Nike Maeathon at Bethel Inn;  1979 Donalco 3 miler, Cut Above 2 miler, Dyer 10K, Roma Cafe 5.8 miler, Boy's Club 5 Miler (15 min)

 

Total of eight reels in all. We are looking into ways that we might be able to convert some or all of  these films to a more useable format. (i.e. VHS, DVD maybe at some point even put online?  Well, we can always dream.  Not sure what interest there might be to save our Maine running history.  Please e-mail me DavidColbyYoung@aol.com or write the Save the Film,  Maine Track Club, PO Box 8008, Portland, Maine 04104  if you would like to help to save the films.
