Crabowitz 5K fun run & Crab Feast
What: 5K fun run & Crab Feast
Date: Thursday, June 11th
Time: Any time after 5:00pm- Run begins around 6:15
Where: Szymanski House (709 Haddon Road, Wilmington, DE 19808)
Please mark your calendars to join us for the 7th annual Crabowitz 5K fun run and crabs! We will be supplying crabs, pizza, water, soda and our own Brewmaster, Tony BBQ, will once again be making the “Electrolyte Ale”! Yuengling will also be provided.
If these two types of beer do not interest you, feel free to bring your beverage of choice. This is a family event, so please bring your significant other, children, pets, neighbor,or whomever you wish to bring. However, please be sure to let us know how many will attend so we have a headcount.
This is not a serious running event… It is a serious fun event!! As the years have gone by, less and less people run and more people come to just drink, eat and have fun!! The only person that has to run is our own Jack Crabowitz (our mascot).
We will be continuing the tradition of asking for donations for the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.

Couch-to-5k Spring Session
We continue to have good turnout, especially for returning participants!
The Newark Reservoir (map) is on Old Paper Mill Road, just east of Paper Mill Road and just north of Timothy’s (where the Christmas party was held). If you missed the first session you’re still more than welcome to come out and walk or run! See you there!
Healthy Kids Running Series
This Sunday is the last session of Spring! Hope to see you there!
From Jamie Graham:
Pike Creek Valley Running Club Members Jamie Graham and Kelly Jones are in need of volunteers for their Healthy Kids Running Series. The Healthy Kids Running Series is a 5 week running program for children Pre-K through Middle School. We run races according to age groups: Pre-k = 50 yard dash, K & 1st = ¼ mile, 2nd & 3rd = ½ mile, 4th and 5th grade/Middle School = mile.
These races are set up like a cross country course around the perimeter of the school fields. We are looking for helpers in the finish chute to keep our Pre-K kids from getting out of line, course marshals, and stretching leaders. All the races are over within the hour. Parents can sign up race day or online. Dates: April 12th, April 19th, 26th, May 3rd, & May 17th.
Jamie’s in Wilmington: Springer Middle School (Shipley Rd.) Sundays at 4pm-5pm. Volunteers are to arrive at 3:30pm.
Kelly’s in Hockessin: North Star Elementary Sundays at 2pm-3pm. Volunteers to arrive at 1:30pm.
Please contact Jamie () or Kelly () if you are able to help.
Thank you!

Sarah Rusk was the 2nd Overall Female at the Delaware Marathon, finishing in 3:15:28.1! Way to make us proud Sarah!
John Schultz finished the Delaware Marathon in 7:28:07.8, no doubt fueled by his bib customization. Given John’s ubiquitous red shorts, he put Red Cloud on his bib. Very fitting John!
Dan Feeney was the 3rd Overall Male at the Delaware Half Marathon! Phenomenal running Dan!
Kristen Stump won 2nd in her age group at the Delaware Half Marathon, finishing in 1:40:27.4!
