August 9, 2018

The Harry K Foundation 5K held Aug. 5 at the Greene Turtle in Rehoboth Beach attracted 209 runners from 10 states, featuring the Fuller brothers from Camp Hill, Pa., along with their fast friends, wives and a girlfriend.

Eight of the top 10 finishers were from Pennsylvania, along with one teenager from Maryland and another from Delaware.

“The Fuller brothers run with us once every summer going back a long time,” said Race Director Wayne Kursh. “There was a race in Bethany, where they are staying, but they traveled here to join us – now that is loyalty. And their appearance, along with their wives, always makes it special, to say nothing of fast.”

Brian Fuller, 32, was first in 15:44. He was followed by Matt Wagoner, 41, masters winner, 16:20; Kevin Fuller, 30, 17:01; Mark Fuller, 27, 17:05; Adam Maisano, 18, 17:08; Dylan McKeever, 18, 17:33; Mary Fuller, 30, first female, 18:21; Matt Mullen, 17, 19:56; Katie Fuller, 26, 20:14; and Emily Rzicidio, 15, who runs for Ursuline, 20:37.

Randi Larson, 42, won the female masters in 26:12.  

Notable local finishers: Sienna Serpico, 11, ran 35:16; Caroline Maull, 15, clocked 25:35, and Emily Hansell, 19, of Lewes ran 24:42. Kelly Serpico, 39, crossed in 24:45; Karen Bomtempo, 50, from Bishopville, Md., won her age group in 27:41; and Mary Andrisani, 66, was age-group winner in 32:50. Logan Serpico, 13, logged a time of 27:02; Forde Hansell, 49, finished in 25:33; and Jack Vassalotti, 66, chased eight Pennsylvanians to the finish in 32:59. Jules Woodall, 70, and Bill MacArthur, 78, placed 1-2 in their age group. Nolan Furlong, 5, placed second in the U9 group with a time of 38:54. How many Furlongs in the 5K? Just three – Nolan, his mom Dawnyel, 36, who ran 38:51, and Gavin, 36, who ran 26:45.
