Age group winners CRR Bill Rose (50-59) ran a 19:43 and finished 4th overall, CRR Dan Simmons (60-69) ran a 21:48, CRR Diane Kukich (60-69) ran a 25:44, CRR Becky George (50-59) ran a 26:38, and CRR Bob Bennett (70+) ran a 28:52. CRR Mark Deshon, who took second place honors in the 50-59s and placed 6th overall in the event, ran a 20:50.

CRR Kathy Corbitt helped organize the event, which drew over 200 runners/walkers, on behalf of the University of Delaware.
