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.

Running with the Greater Philadelphia Track Club, CRR Bruce Weber was our second fastest runner. He finished 87th overall in 32:30 and placed 11th out of the 29 runners in the 60-64 age group. His age grade score was 80.1, which is considered “national class.” By age grade, Weber placed 59th overall.

CRR Bill Rose, running for the northern Delaware–based Pike Creek Valley Running Club (PCVRC), placed 24th in the 60-64 age group with a 35:34, finishing 118th overall.

In the 55-59 age group, CRR Keith Crispin, also running for PCVRC and placing 24th among his age group, placed 148th overall in 38:45.

Ridge, Rose, and Crispin all had age grade scores in the mid 70s, which is considered “regional class.”

A good showing for Creek Road Runners on the national stage. Congrats to each!

Darkness had complete sway in this local 5K, which benefits Special Olympics of Delaware. However, there were three bright spots among our contingent in the race this year, which took place on Friday, Nov. 30.

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.
