Despite below-freezing temperatures, 24 hearty souls and one ready-for-a-long-run canine came out to participate in the 16th annual “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New” trail run at the Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area’s Black Bridge Road parking lot on the last day of 2014.
This year was highlighted by, count ’em, 11 women—coming out in force to share this unique New Year’s Eve day experience for themselves—and a special appearance by self-appointed CEO CRR Matt Robinson. Special thanks to photographer Doug Baker, husband of CRR Diane Kukich, for taking so many good photos (sorry we only had room for a few).

CRR Keith Walter led the way for the few who ran the Broad Street Run this past Sunday in Philadelphia. His time was 1:06:42, a good 6:40/mile pace. 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.
