This is a great tour of New Orleans. What is very unique is that Commemorative Race Posters are given to the Top 500 Finishers, a unique Crescent City Classic award tradition. I have won two and they look great and mine is hanging above my fireplace.
Enschede Marathon

Experience the oldest marathon in Western Europe!
We write about August 1946. The European Athletics Championships were held in Olso and the I.A.A.F. conference had taken place. During that conference, an agreement was made to hold an athletics competition between the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia in Enschede in July 1947. Saturday July 12, 1947 was the big day: 51 participants took off, hoping to return fit and healthy to the summery Van Heekpark after 42 km and 195 m.
Of that group, 33 athletes did indeed complete the race and Eero Riikonen from Finland took the first place. The Enschede Marathon was born.

The 7th KATA 10k Time Trial in Thika Kenya
KATA Time Trial #28 at Thika, Ndarugo-Mang'u Road on December 6th, 2023
Kenya Athletics Training Academy (KATA) monthly time trial took place today December 6th in Thika, Kenya. The turn out was good with 37 athletes and 18 children (third photo).
The weather was perfect for running and the athletes were excited. Lewis kuria opened the game with an impressive 5k win clocking 14:49. He improved his personal best by more than 20 seconds. Lewis time was indeed astonishing considering the fact that this is the fastest time posted on this course. Fredrick Kiprotich followed in second posting 15:08 and Boniface Mungai posted 15:18 in third place.
Regina sandiki who is a junior took the women's 5k crown posting a personal best of 19:12. She held off Lilian musenya who finished only one second behind, clocking 19:13.
Joseph Kamau (first photo) took the 10k in an impressive time of 29:33. He was followed closely by Job Kamonde who posted a personal best of 29:39. Job is a hard worker. He has been a good example and a good leader here at KATA. He pulled with him his team mate Raphael karita who finished 4th in a personal best of 29:52. This is the first time he has run under 30 minutes. His performance is a good indication that hard work truly pays.
Kellen Waithira took the women 10k win in 34:11 followed by her two team mates Loise Wambui 36:11 and Jacinta Mwende 36:13. Both Loise and Jacinta ran their personal best. The overall performance was indeed impressive. Most of our athletes here in KATA have really improved over the last few months. Our next KATA Time Trial is set for Jan 10, 2024. Everyone is welcome. No entry fee, no prize money. Good exposure for you!

Crescent City Classic 10k
Saturday April 19th, 2025
New Orleans, Louisiana
Distance: 10K
Offical Race Web Site
The Crescent City Classic isannual 10-kilometer race held in New Orleans, Louisiana,United States. Mac DeVaughn founded the Classic and held the first race in 1979. The race was originally held in the Fall, but the race is now held the Saturday before Easter.
The Classic is New Orleans’ (and the region’s) premier 10k road race, and one of the oldest 10k races in the nation. For over 40 years, it has combined world class competition, amateur participation and great fun for all participants. Starting in 1979 with 902 participants, the All state Sugar Bowl Crescent City Classic has grown to become the preeminent fitness event in Louisiana. This Easter Weekend Tradition is now, along with Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, one of New Orleans signature events.
Each year, over 20,000 people gather in Downtown New Orleans for an event that attracts everyone from international Elite Athletes to those who walk the entire route carrying cocktails or wearing bunny suits. Young, old, fit and not so, the Crescent City Classic was the first 10k to be televised nationally, and is, to this day, perhaps the most fun you can have over 6.2 miles. The Classic has been praised in every major running publication as “one of America’s fastest 10k’s”, “the originator of the party race”, “an Easter Weekend tradition that should never be missed” and “a great race, on a beautiful course in America’s most unique city”.

Boston, MA
Distance: 5K
Offical Race Web Site
The B.A.A. 5K began in 2009, and became an instant hit among runners from far and wide. Viewed by many as the “calm before the storm,” the Sunday of Marathon weekend traditionally was for shopping, loading up on carbohydrates at the pasta dinner, and most importantly- resting. But now, runners of shorter distances, and even a few marathoners looking for a last-minute tune-up are taking to Boylston Street in anticipation of the big day.
The race helps people get into the running spirit of the weekend, and offers the unique opportunity to cross the Boston Marathon finish line in front of hundreds of cheering spectators.
The 5K (3.1 mile) flat, loop course begins on Boylston Street at the Copley Square fountain, near the intersection with Clarendon Street, and ends at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

Monicah Ngige runs a PR in the women’s pro race, while Ben True is edged again by defending champ Hagos Gebrhiwet.
Before nearly 30,000 people line up for theBoston Marathonon Monday, about 10,000 other runners finished their own race around Boston with the 11th annual BAA 5K on Saturday morning.
Joining them were some of the fastest runners in the country and around the globe. The flat course usually boasts some wicked-fast times—even American records. But off and on drizzles and just enough gusts of wind to slow the pros down made for more tactical races as the pros battled it out on Commonwealth Avenue and Boylston Street. Here’s a look at how each race played out.
Women’s Race
Breaking the tape was Monicah Ngige of Kenya in 15:16. Along with the satisfaction of her fastest 5K time on the roads (her previous bestwas her 15:24 last yearwhen she placed third), Ngige takes home $7,500 for the win.
Ngige ended up battling with an opponent she didn’t even know.Violah Lagat—one of Olympic medalistBernard Lagat’syounger sisters who is a 4:04 1500-meter runner—was a late entrant to the race. Ngige said after the race she had no idea who Lagat was or how fast she was.
“Sometimes you don’t know who is coming to the race,” Ngige said. “So, you just come and run your race, you know?”
Lagat took second in 15:29, followed by Gotytom Gebreslase of Ethiopia in third (15:35). Just missing out on a podium spot was Kim Conley, who tried to close on Gebreslase when the runners hit the final stretch around Boston Common. Conley, the top American woman, took fourth in a time of 15:36. She said after the race she’s been slowly grinding her way back into top fitness after a ligament tear in her foot more than a year ago.

This unique 10K and 5k time trial series has been set up to help runners in three ways. First, get an official time on an accurate 10k or 5k course. Second, have your result published on the internet by our sponsor My Best Runs. Third, race directors want to see official times before they invite you to a race. This is your chance to show the world your level of fitness. All level of runners are invited and all age-groups. We do not charge an entry fee nor do we pay out any prize money. If you are coming from out of town, you can stay at our Kenyan Athletics Academy for a night or two at no charge. I hope you will join us in Thika, Kenya (just one hour from Nairobi).
