June 21, 2014

Round up the number to 400 for runners and walkers and Clydesdales and Fillies, and throw in a few bandits. The June 15 Fathers Day 5K always attracts a large crowd and a few trash trucks to Wilmington Avenue.

A record 28 runners broke the 20-minute mark including Joanna Baird at 18:02 with Emily Ritter next through the chute in 18:11. Tim Schuler, 51, of Chambersburg, Pa. ran 17:17, good for fourth place. John Best, 13, a regular summer runner from Arlington, Va.,  ran 19:16 to place 18th in the race.
