SF Marathon 5K — NB60-64: Scruggs Owns the Field

• Tom Scruggs, 63, takes the win in the NB60-64 field with a finishing time of 31:13.
• 10:03/mi average pace across the 5K course in San Francisco's cool, humid morning air.
• Sole finisher in the NB60-64 field — Scruggs had the category entirely to himself.

Tom Scruggs of Concord, CA showed up, toed the line, and got the job done. Running through San Francisco's overcast morning — 57°F with 85% humidity and a light 6 mph wind — the 63-year-old covered the 5K course at a 10:03/mi clip, crossing in 31:13 to claim the NB60-64 win outright.

With no one else in the NB60-64 field to push him, Scruggs ran his own race from start to finish. First place, last place, and every place in between — all his. Sometimes the victory lap is a solo one, and Scruggs earned every step of it.
