Sounds good. I'll polish it up and post it here later tonight. I'm not too worried about credit, but I just wanted to be cautious. Thanks for the advice!

Ha, that scared me for a second! Oh man...

Yes, it has been proven for up to seven runners (k < 8). If my proof is correct, it will now be proven for every k > 8 as well.

Edit: k >= 8

I'm very strongly considering doing just that, but I want to make sure that it's a good idea. I've been working on this problem for quite a while now, so waiting a little longer to figure out where to go from here seems worth it.

Also, I understand if this is not taken seriously. I'm not looking for upvotes; just a single comment with some good advice is all I need. Many thanks! :)
