OK, so the course along Creek Road in Newark had to be shortened a bit, race organizers say down to 9.65 miles because of some course deterioration. The Caffé Gelato Waffle Cone Ten Miler still presents a challenging but scenic course each year, a combination of creekside pavement and trails.
On Sunday, CRR Bruce Weber placed 5th overall out of 188 finishers in 1:04:14. An unusually long course for this natural sprinter, Weber won his age group (50-59) and was the second master’s finisher.
CRR Bill Rose finished just off the podium in the same age group, turning in a very respectable 1:07:47 while placing 13th.

CRR Anja Leefeldt took first in the 40-49 age group in 25:29, less than three seconds off the finishing time of the woman who took the top master’s place. (Leefeldt’s chip time was actually three seconds faster than the top master’s chip time, meaning she’ll have to get closer to the starting line in the future.) CRR Becky George took third in the 50-59 age group in 26:34.
CRR Andrew Weber placed second overall, out of 206 finishers, in 19:26, easily winning his 30-39 age group.
CRR Natalie Rosenberg won the 30-39 age group, finishing 18th overall in 24:23.
Finishing 32nd overall was the female masters winner CRR Christina Parsons in a time of 26:30.
