After numerous second-place finishes in the Screenland 5K, Culver City Vice Mayor Dan O'Brien finally prevailed in his age division, and he had to chase a Culver City bus to do it. "I thank the fleet-footed David Winslow for getting a year older and running in costume as a Culver City bus," a smiling O'Brien said of his longtime racing foe.
