This past weekend, Rehoboth Beach, Del., was the site of the Delaware Seashore Running Festival, comprising four races—a 5K, 9K, half-marathon, and marathon. A couple Creek Road Runners—Diane Kukich and Joe Dombroski—had notable performances.

CRR Diane Kukich ran the 5K on Saturday and the 9K on Sunday, winning her age group (70-74) in each race. In the 5K, she placed 35th among female masters runners and 87th among all female competitors in a time of 28:37 (28:55 gun). She was the 235th finisher oveall out of 874 competitors. In the next day’s 9K, Kukich was the 58th female finisher and 16th among the female masters in 53:00 (53:22 gun). She finished 152nd overall out of 678 racers.

At age 66, CRR Joe Dombroski ran his very first half marathon, completing the 13.1-mile distance in 2:22:15 (2:27:40 gun) and placing 9th in his age group (65-69). He was the 429th finisher among the 1,437 who completed the race.

Well done, both of you.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This morning, the Kukich girls, CRR Diane Kukich and her daughter Christine, were double winners in the Bunny Run 5K in Aberdeen, Md.

These two are making a habit of running together and winning (see a similar story from last year).

This is “old hat” for mom Kukich, who among Creek Road Runners holds three Delaware state age-group records—5 mile, 10K and 15K. She won her age group (70+) in 28:27. The younger Kukich, who was the overall female winner in 22:10, seems to have the fast gene as well.

Congrats to this formidable family duo.

Delaware News Journal photo of Andrew Weber as Captain America in a 5K

Well, no. But this archival photo showed up in the April 11th edition of the Delaware News Journal. It shows CRR Andrew Weber as Captain America in the Halloween-themed Boo and Brew 5K back in 2021. Masked and all, this superhero won the race in an impressive 17:51.

We suspect that, three-and-a-half years later, Weber can still run with the wind.

Some might say he is “faster than a speeding bullet.” Then again, that would have been a different costume.

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.
