The second running of the Dos Locos 5K on June 3, which took off from Wilmington Avenue and the Boardwalk, attracted 198 runners, most of them muy loco naturally; it's just the nature of the competition.

The craziest competition occurred in the 70-74 male category, where the first three places, garnered by Paul Keifer in 28:14, Hal Carrier in 28:22 and Jack Noel in 28:35 were separated by just 21 seconds.

Charlie Macintire, 57,  former Cape distance runner for coach Tom Hickman, won the 55-59 age group in 22:24.

Matt Dunn of Trappe, Md., was the overall winner in 17:15, followed by Clark Knox of Cockeysville, Md., in 17:40 .

Brooke Magni of Lancaster, Pa., was the first woman to finish, in 18:55.

The next Seashore Striders race will be the ninth running of the DRFC Blue-Gold All-Star 5K at 8 a.m., Saturday,  June 9, at Irish Eyes on Anglers Road in Lewes.
