On Thanksgiving morning, two Creek Road Runners dominated the 60-69 age group in the 46th Annual Thanksgiving Day MS races in Wilmington.
CRR Bruce Weber, back in town to run in his former “back yard,” bested the men in the 60-69 category in the 10K in 43:27 (chip time). Weber finished 16th overall.
Among the 60-69 women in the 5K, CRR Mary Braun won her second age group crown within a week in 28:33 (chip time), following her Turkey Trot win on the previous Saturday.
Well done, both of you.

In the 70-74 age group, CRR Diane Kukich is still training daily and racing occasionally…and nearly always winning. Her racing muse is her daughter, Christine, a Baltimore resident who has taken up running and racing pretty seriously over the past decade.
They register for and compete in races together, which, though they each run at their own pace, gives them good mother-daughter time. This is especially true when they both bring home hardware, which, depending on the race, is becoming more commonplace.
Last weekend, the Kukich women competed in the Coastal Delaware Running Festival.
The elder ran in the Cape Challenge, which included a 5K in Dewey Beach on Saturday and a 9K in Rehoboth Beach on Sunday. She won the 70-74 age group in both events with times of 26:43 and 50:12, respectively.
Christine did the Fort Miles Challenge, which included the 5K on Saturday plus a half-marathon on Sunday. Not to go home empty-handed, she placed second among her 30-34 age-group peers in the 5K in 22:50 and fourth in the half (missing third place by one second) in 1:44:08.
