Before the 34th annual Philadelphia Bar Association 5K Charity Run, held on May 19, it had been raining all morning and started to pour at approximately 8 a.m., 30 minutes before the race was scheduled to start. In addition, Neill Clark, the winner of the bar association competition for the past 14 years, showed up wearing a cast on his right leg, unable to run. What else could go wrong? As it turned out, nothing else did. At 8:30 a.m., the start time for the race, the rain tapered to a slight drizzle, the temperature of 58 to 60 degrees was perfect for running and the more than 1,300 participants who showed up, out of more than 1,550 who registered, put on an incredible performance.
The race was won by Jossi Fritz-Mauer, 28, who lives in Wynnewood, Pa., and is with nonprofit The Energy Co-op, in a time of 15:54, a record for the race. The first female finisher was attorney Heather Hoechst, who finished in a strong 19:17, winning both the open competition and the bar association competition for women. Hoechst is a lawyer with nonprofit Women Against Abuse. First place among men in the Philadelphia Bar Association was Sean T. Daly, 24, a second-year Villanova University law student, who finished fourth overall in the race and first among members of the bar association, in a time of 17:37.
