Horace Ashenfelter, the Olympic Gold Medalist that the race is named after, was one of America’s premier distance runners during the 1950s, winning 17 national championships at a variety of distances. But his most remarkable achievement was winning the gold medal in the 1952 Olympic 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Ashenfelter was the first American since James Lightbody in 1904 to win the Olympic steeplechase beating the favorite, Vladimir Kazantsev of the Soviet Union. Horace Ashenfelter also won the 1952 Sullivan Award as the nation’s outstanding amateur athlete.
Ashenfelter served in World War II and then attended Penn State. He won the NCAA 2-mile run in 1949, the IC4A outdoor 2-mile in 1948 and 1949, and the IC4A indoor 2-mile in 1948. He was also AAU national champion in cross-country, 1951, 1955 and 1956; the steeplechase, 1951, 1953, and 1956; the 3-mile run, 1954 and 1955; the 6-mile, 1950; and the indoor 3-mile, 1952 through 1956.

Torino City Marathon
Sunday November 23rd, 2025
Torino, Italy
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon
Offical Race Web Site
The Torino City Marathon is a journey through art and history in the city that was Italy’s first capital.
Fast, or rather very fast, routes take marathon runners through the streets of the city centre and among palaces and historic monuments but also through parks, with their villages and castles, to the suburbs.
The course passes by industries that have helped write Turin’s history, before returning to the center and the finish line in the sumptuous Piazza Castello. On 5 November three races will be held: the Torino City Marathon (42.195 km), the Torino City Half Marathon (21.097 km) and the Torino City Run (7 km).
The race is organized by Team Marathon S.S.D. and Torino Road Runners A.S.D., with the support of the Regione Piemonte and the municipalities of Turin, Beinasco, Nichelino and Moncalieri. The event has always been a favourite for foreign marathon runners, who in addition to following their sporting passion have been able to appreciate the beauty of the area and sample the food and wine delights of the region.
There are active promotions on hotels and guided tours so you can fully enjoy both the journey and the race.

Gobbler Grind Half Marathon
Sunday November 23rd, 2025
Overland Park, KS
Distance: Half Marathon · 10K · 8K
Offical Race Web Site
Looking for a great fall race? Look no further than the Gobbler Grind! This race features three great distances (5K, 10K and Half Marathon) to fit your training schedule and get you ready for the feast of all feasts -Thanksgiving!
A semi-flat, easy route through the woods on paved trails.
The Gobbler Grind was started 23 years ago by Mike English and other employees from Garry Gribbles Running Sports who thought it would be fun to plan a race between two stores. At the time, paved running trails almost connected the Ward Parkway store and the Overland Park store at Stoll Park. The trails were measured and it was easy to make it into a marathon.
The name Gobbler Grind was chosen to differentiate from all the other “turkey” races in the fall. The first was won by Eric Peters. As time went on the location was moved, but the race remains a tradition for runners in the Kansas City area.

(2022)Twenty-two-year-old Yalemzerf Yehualew opened her 2022 season in spectacular style by claiming a repeat victory at today's rescheduled 2021 TotalEnergies Great Ethiopian Run 10km.
Her winning time of 31 minutes and 16 seconds was thirty-one seconds faster than her winning time two years ago, as she came home a clear winner ahead of Girmawit Gebregziabiher. In third place was the 17-year old 2021 World Junior 5000m silver medallist Melkanat Wudu, making her first appearance in the international 10km.
The men's race turned into a much closer race, with 6 athletes still together as they came into the final 500 meters. Gemechu Dida took a surprise victory over former Dubai Marathon champion Getaneh Molla, with less than a second separating the first three athletes. Boki Diriba finished 3rd. Dida's winning time was 28 minutes and 23 seconds.
Yalemzerf came into the race eager to impress after having to withdraw from the Valencia 10km just two weeks ago. At Friday's press conference she spoke about her aim of reclaiming the world half-marathon record from compatriot Letesenbet Giday.
Today she ran a clever race, making her break from long-time leader Girmawit just past the 7.5km mark after cresting the hill near the National Palace. At the 9km turn at Urael Church Yalemzerf accelerated dramatically and easily pulled clear of her rival, and looked fresh and relaxed as she cruised into the finish with a winning margin of 12 seconds.
In the men's race, the highest placed non-Ethiopian athlete was Cornelius Kibet Kemboi who finished in 6th place in a time of 28 minutes and 38 seconds. Rodgers Kibet from Uganda was 11th, Shadrack Kipngetich from Kenya was 16th and Samson Amare from Eritrea was 18th.
Both men's and women's winners took home cash prizes of 100,000 birr (just over USD $2,000).
A total of 17,600 finished the race. The mass race which started less than ten minutes after the start of the elite races.
