2007 Race Recap: Hot & Humid!
by Dave McCorquodale
Pike Creek Valley Running Club held its 25th annual Delaware Distance Classic 15K at Frawley Stadium on
the Christiana Riverfront in Wilmington. Despite the continuing construction creating route changes and
small conflicts with motor traffic, the race went well with only minor glitches noticed by the race
director and no complaints from the participants.
At least no complaints about the race direction! There were certainly complaints about the weather,
which approached eighty degrees by the end of the race.
Even with the change in running date(with the second to first Sunday in October), registration was
only down slightly with a total of 210 who registered. However, with about 200 actually towing the
starting line, about 10% of the field could not complete the course, with 181 actually finishing.
With the air temperature being in the upper 60s at the start, it felt cool enough for most runners to
take off at their normal paces. But, unfortunately, the dewpoint was almost the same as the temperature,
meaning that people heated up within a few miles and started to slow the pace or even overheat and stop.
Fortunately no one required medical attention.
In the results,
the men's race was won by Jake Krong of Elkton, Md. in 52:22 and the women's races was won by Lydia
Singer of Claymont, De. in 59:31. Master's winners were Chuck Shields, 54:15 and Julie Hankin, 1:02:41.
Julie was also second overall female.
