Among the Creek Road Runners, four senior men ran in this year’s Broad Street Run 10 miler in Philadelphia in a crowded field of over 36, 000.
Three of the four placed within the top 25 in their respective age groups, which is remarkable in such an international field.
The fastest was 55-yr.-old CRR Bill Farquhar, who placed 21st in his five-year age group in 1:11:15*.
Just three minutes behind Farquhar was 64-yr.-old CRR Bill Rose, who finished 20th among his 60-64 peers in 1:14:20*.
With a top-ten finish in the 70-74 age group, placing 9th, the irrepressible 72-yr.-old CRR Doug Repetti clocked in at 1:31:01*.
Though not placing in the top 25 in his age group, 56-yr.-old CRR Keith Crispin finished in a respectable 1:29:12*.
Congratulations to each of you.

On Sunday, CRR Bruce Weber placed 5th overall out of 188 finishers in 1:04:14. An unusually long course for this natural sprinter, Weber won his age group (50-59) and was the second master’s finisher.
The annual Caffé Gelato Waffle Cone 10 Miler and 5K run/walk (new this year) will be held on Sunday, Oct. 29, at 9 a.m. The 10 Miler is the quintessential Creek Road run, as the course takes you out Creek Road along White Clay Creek all the way up into Pennsylvania’s White Clay Preserve before reversing course and heading back to Newark. The event includes a buffet brunch afterward.
