Caesar Rodney Half-Marathon
The Caesar Rodney Half-Marathon took place on Sunday on a newly modified course and in sunny, cool, breezy conditions. The course avoided the previous mile plus of running out Pennsylvania Ave, thus sparing the participants dealing with the modestly gusty wind. Over three dozen club members finished the Half marathon.
Greg Cauller and Lynn Knothe were the winners of the accompanying 5K.
The race was also the second event of the MA-USATF Grand Prix series and many of our participants represented the club in that competition. The age grades are below and the bold one comprise the team score. Overall seven USATF teams scored in the event. PCVRC had the most points, 398.132, followed closely by SJAC. The two teams which scored very well at the Adrenaline 5K, Bryn Mawr Running Company and Athena, did not field teams for the event. That was expected of the first team, but not Athena, which did well through the entire series last year. Since the lowest score is dropped for each team at the end of the year, Athena must now compete in all of the rest of the events in order to place well. Meanwhile, with these Caesar Rodney results, the PCVRC team jumped from sixth place to second, only two points behind SJAC. The next event will be the Valley Forge Revolutionary 5 Mile Run on April 17 http://www.valleyforge.org/info/rev-run/. The team appears deep enough this year to field a team for this event, despite the fact that it falls of Boston Marathon weekend.
