Claremont resident Paul Simonian crosses the “finish line” on Yale Avenue in Claremont on Sunday after completing a 5k run on his 90th birthday. He set a goal of completing the 3.1 miles in less than an hour, and did so with time to spare at 52:40. Mr. Simonian ran the same route as the city of Claremont’s Freedom 5000 5k race held on the morning of the Fourth of July. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
