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.

This year’s Broad Street Run—the popular net-downhill, ten-mile, straight-down-Broad-Street run in the heart of Philadelphia—drew more than 20,000 participants. Among the masses at this May 1 run were two Creek Road Runners from Newark—CRR Flora Poindexter, who ran a 1:49:34 (1:47:07 chip), and CRR Shawn Alexander, who ran 1:56:48.

Congratulations to both of you for competing in this unique race.

Broad Street Run logoThough the Philadelphia Flyers are out of the playoffs, there were still some Creek Road Runners who were definitely flying down Broad Street yesterday, taking no prisoners in the annual Broad Street Run Ten Miler in Philly.

photo of Bill FarquharCRR Bill Farquhar led the way with a stellar 59:45, finishing in 194th place in the field of about 50,000 runners and placing 3rd in the 50-54 age group! This sub-6:00/mile performance legitimized his tactic of saving energy last weekend during the Delaware Marathon Relay. His performance yesterday at Broad Street age-graded to an 82.4, which is considered “national class.”

Our newest Creek Road Runner, 25-year-old CRR Jo Baird, tore up the course in a fast 1:05:34, finishing an amazing 69th among all women and 553rd overall.

Following after Baird were 51-year-old CRR Keith Crispin, who ran a 1:06:51, and 67-year-old CRR Doug Repetti, who posted a 1:23:45, each a terrific time for his respective age.

CRR Shawn Alexander completed the 10-mile course in 1:18:14. Newark Deputy City Manager and CRR Andy Haines shaved some time off his previous best with a PR in 1:30:22. CRR Beverly Jackey, recipient of the new-runner shirt giveaway at the 2014 “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New,” finished in a commendable 1:33:12. Triathlete and CRR Sue Barton came in at 1:36:14. Well done, all of you.

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!


photo of Dan SimmonsIn other weekend news, CRR Dan Simmons placed 4th among the 65-69s in the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia yesterday, coming in with a very respectable 1:14:06. Simmons finished 2041st overall out of nearly 40,000 runners.  Well done.

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.

Creek Road Runners is an informal association of runners/joggers who frequent the only quiet scenic road out of Newark, Delaware.
