15K Champion Mike Digennaro
The 32nd Delaware Distance Classic 15K was held on Sunday, Oct 12, 2014 in Delaware City, DE. This page includes photos and gallery links to many more.
This was a new location for the 15K and 5K races after over a decade at the Wilmington Riverfront and the sixth different venue since inception of the race in 1982!

The Delaware Distance Classic went off very well! We got lots of compliments on the course and the after-party. NOVA Timing has 273 15k finishers and 45 5k finishers. Great job everyone!
MANY, MANY, MANY thanks to all the volunteers and Pike Creek members who worked to put this on! I know the DDC Committee worked very hard beforehand and during the race to keep everything going without a hitch and I think they pulled it off! Help is always needed in planning so please consider helping out next year even if you are racing in the event.
