CRR Mark Deshon, co-founder of the Creek Road Runners, was inducted into the Pike Creek Valley Running Club (PCVRC) Hall of Fame on March 14.

Criteria for induction are impressive personal accomplishments, support of the club, and positive impact on the Delaware running community.

During the ceremony, Deshon thanked the club and several individuals who have influenced his 53-year running career to date, including CRR Jim Fischer and the late CRR Bob Bennett.

Deshon joined this distinct pantheon of PCVRC runners that includes Fischer, CRR Bob Taggart, and CRR Deborah Compton.

The Pomeroy Trail, scheduled for completion in fall 2012, will be a nice addition to the UD and Newark running environment. It runs along part of the old Pomeroy Railroad.  It links the James Hall Trail (the paved trail that runs parallel to the Amtrak lines) to Creek Road.  Its construction is the reason for the heavy equipment in the woods between UD’s Laird Campus dormitories and Creek Road. The southern end of Pomeroy Trail abuts the James Hall Trail, about 100 meters east of South Chapel St.  The northern end of the Pomeroy Trail is at Creek Road, at a bend (“the ‘S’ curve”) where the old railroad once crossed a feeder stream to White Clay Creek.  About 1.7 miles one way.  Map:
