Though there was no smoke on the water or fire in the sky, one of our own fought through the pain in Switzerland this past weekend. Despite pulling a hamstring, CRR Paul Amer limped the final 6 km to the finish line in the Geneva Half Marathon. Running for the Aseat Toulouse (that’s French for “Creek Road Runners”) team, Amer finished in 2:19:14.

Asked for comment after the race, Amer noted, “I am quite happy in setting the all-time Geneva Half Marathon record for 60-year-old computer science professors from the University of Delaware.”

Congratulations to one of a kind!

Locally, in the Race Against Domestic Violence 5K, CRR Diane Kukich pulled out her lucky pink shoes and won the 60-64 age group in 24:01.

Carpenter Recreation Area of White Clay Creek State Park, off New London Road (Rt. 896) in Newark. “Unique” only scratches the surface as a description of this event.  Just ask organizer and CRR John Mackenzie how much fun these off-road races are.

You can run any of these races individually or participate in the Triple Crown (half, 10K, and 5K) either individually or as part of a three-person team. Proceeds benefit local homeless shelters. See the TrailDawgs website for details.

Here are the start times:
7:30 a.m. – Triple Crown Half-Marathon
7:40 a.m. – Delaware Trail Marathon (two loops of the half-marathon course)
10:00 a.m. – Triple Crown 10K
