In 1981 the Oslo Marathon was held for the first time. At this time marathon running had become a major sporting event across the world. and event holders reported large numbers of participants. Every large city also had its own marathon event (New York, London, Stockholm etc). It was therefore natural that Oslo should also have its own marathon event. Bislett Alliansen took initiative and the first Oslo Marathon was underway.
There are over 500 marathon events in the world over the course of a year. Why not run the marathon in beautiful Oslo? Here you will run two rounds of the city with the start and finish lines at Rådhusplassen. The run will take you around Skøyen, Frogner and Akershusstranda, Aker Brygge, Akershusgestning, Grønland and Karl Johan. You will have the opportunity to experience Oslo in a completely different way together with other running enthusiasts as well as thousands of people cheering you on.

During his brief 24-year lifespan, Steve Prefontaine grew from hometown hero, to record-setting college phenomenon, to internationally acclaimed track star. In a similar span of years since his death in 1975, Pre has become the stuff of enduring legend.
His rare combination of talent, discipline, determination, and star-quality with a human touch made Pre the idol of those he called "his people" — the devoted fans who came to watch him run and entered into the performance with roars of encouragement, "Go Pre!"
At no place is the celebration of Steve Prefontaine and his story more personal than in Coos Bay, Oregon, where he was born in 1951 and discovered his gift for running fast and far as a student at Marshfield High School. Here, he developed his hunger to be the best in the field, and more, to do it with style—to create beauty when he ran, to show people something they had never seen before.
Steve Prefontaine is honored every year at the Prefontaine Memorial Run, a challenging 10K road race across one of his old training courses, with its finish line at the high school track where he first competed. This is where he tested his mettle and felt the possibility of greatness, and his hometown saw greatness, too. We warmly invite you to come to Coos Bay every September and run where Pre's legend began.

In 1984, the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce President asked the Prefontaine Memorial Committee to establish an annual award to a Coos Bay/North Bend student-athlete to be presented at the Chamber's Annual Awards Banquet.
Beginning in 1985, the Prefontaine Memorial Committee has honored outstanding student-athletes whose accomplishments most closely reflected the excellence in athletics demonstrated by the late Steve Prefontaine.
Steve Prefontaine grew up in Coos Bay, OR and graduated from Marshfield High School in 1969. He was a two-time State Cross County Champion, two-time State 2-Mile Champion and also won the State Championship in the mile his senior season. Also during his senior season, Steve established a new National 2-mile record with a time of 8:41.5 at a meet in Corvallis and that record stood for many years. He capped his high school career by placing 4thin the 3-mile at the AAU National Championships, where he was chosen to compete internationally on the USA team.
Steve went on to the University of Oregon to run under the legendary Bill Bowerman. During his years at Oregon he won three National Collegiate Cross County Championships and four 3-mile/5,000-meter Collegiate Outdoor titles. In 1972, Steve won the Olympic Trials 5,000-meters race in front of a standing room only crowd of adoring fans at Hayward Field in Eugene. Later that fall, Steve represented the United States at the Summer Olympic Games of Munich, Germany where he finished 4thin one the most stirring 5,000-meter races in Olympic history. At the time of his tragic death in May of 1975, he held every American distance record from 2,000-meters to 10,000-meters.
Each year, the Prefontaine Memorial Committee asks the athletic directors of Marshfield High School and North Bend High School to submit the names of up to three worthy candidates for our consideration. Although the award is given primarily for excellence in athletics, we also look for excellence in character, involvement in the community outside of school activities and academics.

Distance: Marathon · Marathon Relay

The Black Hills Veteran’s Honor March was conceived in 2002 as a way to honor the sacrifices of our nation's service men and women. The 26.2 mile march takes place in the picturesque Black Hills National Forest on the Mickelson Trail. The March is held yearly on a weekend at the end of September. The March, which is conducted under the auspices of the South Dakota National Guard Enlisted Association (SDNGEA), grew out an idea that originated from some South Dakota Army National Guard soldiers who had participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March.
It was during the long ride home from White Sands, New Mexico that the idea of a commemorative march could be held to honor all Veterans, and that the Black Hills would be a perfect place to hold such an event. Since the Bataan Memorial Death March takes place in late March-early April, the consensus was that this new event should be held later in the year.

The March is held on a weekend at the end of September.

Since the Bataan Memorial Death March takes place in late March-early April, the consensus was that this new event should be held later in the year.
On September 21, 2002, seven members of the Army National Guard traveled to Deadwood, SD and set out to reconnoiter the proposed march route and establish sites for water points, rest stops, and lodging requirements. Ted Deloy, Michael Jones, Matt Lacroix, Ben Lamp, Jeff Nord, Ben Smetana and Mark Thomas were members of the recon team and laid the foundation for this event. The route today closely matches the original route from Rochford to Deadwood, the only change being the decision to end at the Rodeo grounds as compared to main street Deadwood.
After completing the dry run in September 2002, the marchers compiled notes and ideas. Due to mobilization in 2003 the idea had to wait to be presented to the SDNGEA at the state conference in April 2004. The decision was made to have the inaugural march start in September 2004.
Since its inception, the memorial march has grown to hundreds of marchers from across the United States. Events are offered in Team Military and Civilian, Individual Military and Civilian, Heavy Military (with a 40lb Rucksack), Marathon and Mini-March and Team Mini-March.

Thika, Kenya
Distance: Double 15K · Kids Race
The 4th annual KATA Double Road Race 15k will be held Sept 14, 2024 in Thika, Kenya. Start and finish plus half time break will be based not far from KATA.
Double Racing was createdby Bob Anderson in the summer of 2010. Seven small events were staged by Ujena Fit Club in Mexico between Oct 2010 and Oct 2012 called the Bob Anderson 15k Challenge. The name was changed to the Double Road Race in 2012.
The first official Double Road Race was heldDecember 23, 2012. Nearly 1400 people registered for the Pleasanton, California event.The title event was the Double 15k. It's a 10k followed by a 5k with a break in between. The time when the second leg starts is called the restart. The 5k leg starts one hour and 45 minutes after the start of the 10k.
"Double Racing is do able for runners at all levels. It is a new challenge for many while others have done many already," says creator Bob Anderson who also founded Runner's World magazine in 1966.
Bob Anderson staged two doubles in Kenya in the past. One in Thika in 2014 and one in Nyahururu in 2015. Both were the Double 21k (10 miles + break + 5k).
It was during those trips that Bob came up with the idea of setting up a training camp in Thika. He officially opened KATA (Kenyan Athletics Training Acdemy) Sept, 2021 and staged the first Double 15k in all of Africa on September 4, 2021. Donikal Komon was the winner that day clocking 44:42 (which was the fourth best time ever and the fastest in all of Africa). Joseph Njoroge ran two seconds faster in 2022.
