The annual Thanksgiving Day Run for MS races in Wilmington produced several notable mentions among the Creek Road Runners.

Two Creek Road Runners doubled up by taking age-group prizes in both the 10K and 5K.

CRR Bruce Weber continued to dominate the 60s age group locally by winning the 60-69s in both races, running a 40:35* in the 10K and a 20:46 in the 5K. He placed 13th overall out of 268 runners in the 10K and 31st out of 1,040 participants in the 5K.

CRR Doug Repetti, running his third and fourth races in less than a week, won the 70+ age group in the 10K in 56:56* and placed 2nd in the same age group in the 5K with a 27:58.

CRR Ann Jornlin, while not placing in the top three among women in the 70+ 5K division, did race walk to a 4th in 49:42 while pushing her grandson in a baby stroller. Her husband, Frank, and daughter, Carly, each won their respective age groups, though. Her son, Kevin, and son-in-law ran the race as well.

Another family of note created some buzz. CRR Martha Narvaez, her husband, Kevin, and three sons all ran. Her 13-year-old son, Lincoln, finished a remarkable 15th overall in the 10K in 41:09*, finishing 4th among his teen peers. Good running genes in this family too.

There were a couple recent popular racing events, at which a few Creek Road Runners excelled.

At the hugely attended Nov. 25 Thanksgiving Run for MS in Wilmington, there were two standouts from among our cohort. In the 5K, CRR Bruce Weber continued his dominance in the 60-64 age group with a win in 19:31, placing 17th overall out of 455 entrants.

Not to be outdone by all the younger, faster guys, CRR Doug Repetti repeated again by running both the 10K and the 5K on Thanksgiving morning. Repetti took first among the 70-and-overs in the 10K in 54:12. He took second in that same age group in the 5K, finishing in 26:59—a lot of running for one morning, no matter how you look at it.

Special mention goes to 12-year-old Lincoln Narvaez, son of CRR Martha Narvaez, who not only won his 13-and-under age group but placed 25th overall out of 318 competitors in the 10K with a 44:59. Super time for this up-and-coming runner; good coaching, mom.

In Newark’s annual Reindeer Run & Romp 5K, held on Dec. 3, CRR Luke Nigro finished 7th overall out of the 902 after-dark runners and won the 25-29 age group in a stellar 17:39. Well done, Luke.
