CRR Mark Deshon enjoys the end of another completed “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New.”

The powerful El Niño that is in play this winter in the U.S. made this—the 17th annual “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New”—trail run at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area one of the most comfortable, if not the most, in the history of the event, weather-wise. Despite two days of rain leading up to today, the course was not nearly as muddy as it could have been.

For the third consecutive year, the event attendance record was broken. With the addition of 11 “newbies,” a record 25 people (and one eager canine) came out to run/jog/walk all or part of the loop course.

fischer, men’s running, robinson, UD

photo of Matt RobinsonSounds like alphabet soup, does’t it? No, it’s not the latest social media abbreviation.

Our very own self-appointed “CEO” CRR Matt Robinson has been named acting director of intercollegiate athletics and recreation services at the University of Delaware, effective Dec. 31, 2015—the day of our annual “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New” trail run.

Coincidence? Not a chance.

photo of Jim Fischer tracksideMaybe now in his new role (while he’s there), he can do for UD what he’s done over the past several years for Creek Road Runners—provide hands-off leadership. However, having said that, for his first order of business, most Creek Road Runners feel strongly that his first and foremost order of business should be to right a wrong by reinstating the men’s DI running programs at UD and bringing back beloved former UD coach and CRR Jim Fischer.

A pipe dream? Maybe. But never doubt the spirit and influence of a man who appoints himself as a “CEO.”

Robinson replaces Eric Ziady, who announced he was stepping down from the post. Congratulations, Matt!

Creek Road, Delaware State Parks, storm damage, tree removal

westsidecosmeticsA couple late spring/early summer storms left tree damage and some physical impediments along a few stretches of Creek Road and the Pomeroy Trail.

Thanks to Delaware State Parks, the debris has been removed for the most part, and Creek Road is passable again.

Happy running once again.
