Couch to 5K, finkle, kukich, University of Delaware

photo of Diane Kukich runningCRR Diane Kukich was recently written up as part of an article on the University of Delaware’s first completed “Couch to 5K” program for employees. Kukich is an RRCA-certified running coach who currently holds two Delaware state age-group records—the 20K (50-54, 1:30:56) and the 5 mile (65-69, 39:41).

Kukich will be starting a Couch to 5K program in the fall at UD, turning yet another cadre of so-called “couch potatoes” into capable joggers/runners.

CRR Beth Finkle, UD’s director of Health and Wellbeing, was also mentioned in the article.

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