57-year-old CRR Bruce Weber ran the Run for Kids’ Health 5K in Wilmington last Saturday but didn’t know that the race’s major competitors would all be in his age group (50-59). Fortunately, his 5K times have been consistently in the mid-19s lately.
In this particular race, the top three of 115 finishers were all age 50-59. The winner, Jorge Morales, a 52-year-old from Wilmington, ran an incredible 18:43 to win the race.

CRR Dan Weile punched his ticket for the podium by being the third man to finish (fifth overall) in 1:29:52. Both Weber (35-39) and Weile (45-49) would have won their respective age groups but had to settle for the bigger honor of having finished in the top three.
