Walt Stack (1908 – January 19, 1995) was a hod carrier by trade and an icon of the San Francisco, California, running community by popular acclaim. Stack ran approximately in his lifetime.〔http://outsideonline.com/outside/magazine/0898/9808hardway.html〕 Even in his 70s and 80s, Stack ran many more marathons and ultramarathons than all but a few of his running peers. Stack was featured in Nike's first "Just Do It" advertisement that debuted on July 1, 1988.〔http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2008/07/nikes_just_do_it_slogan_celebr.html〕 == Dolphin South End Running Club == In the 1960s, Stack was a member of San Francisco's Dolphin Club.〔http://www.dserunners.com/inthebeginning.html〕 Circa 1965/1966, Stack invited members of the South End Rowing Club to meet with him and another Dolphin Club member regarding the formation of a running club that would include women and children for the first time.〔 This club would become known as the Dolphin South End Running Club (DSE), San Francisco's oldest running club and among the oldest in the United States.〔http://www.dserunners.com/history.html〕 In his role as club sage, Stack exhorted his flock to "Start slow... and taper off." The message conveyed both his wisdom and a sense of enthusiasm for middle and back of the pack fun runners, and the slogan has been emblazoned on all the club's jerseys ever since. At the DSE races, which have taken place nearly every weekend in and around San Francisco since the 1970s, Walt was usually the master of ceremonies and presenter of ribbons to the top finishers. Stack organized the first Double Dipsea race in 1970.〔http://www.tamalparunners.org/html/doubledipseaarticle.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walt Stack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
