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.
