Worcester, MA - December 13, 1997

Nick Anastasi of Atkinson, NH used CMS 52-Week 5K Series Race #50 to set, what CR's believes to be, a world record of 216 road races completed in one calendar year. Continuing week after week an odyssey which began twelve months ago, Anastasi has averaged more than four races per week to set the record. Not content with stopping at 216, he left the race immediately upon its conclusion to drive 45 miles east to Cambridge, Massachusetts to run #217 at Fresh Pond later in the same morning.

Left far behind was another age 60+ runner, Ed Sato of Worcester, who completed his 161st race of 1997 at the CMS 5K.
