It’s the 10th Anniversary!

The Papa John’s 10 Miler celebrates its 10th Anniversary with an impressive field of nearly 8,500 runners and walkers from 23 states. The race will begin at 8 a.m., Saturday, April 3, 2010 and is the third leg of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running, presented by Novo Nordisk. Proceeds from the Papa John’s 10 Miler, sponsored by Reebok, will go to the WHAS Crusade for Children.

“We are expecting the largest field ever for this year’s race,” said Rene’ Kesterson, Race Director. It takes an army of volunteers and many sponsors to execute this size of an event. The winners are all the race participants and the WHAS Crusade for Children. Last year, Papa John’s 10 Miler raised $42,500 for the WHAS Crusade for Children, while the Louisville Triple Crown of Running, collectively. raised $128,880 for the Crusade.

In 2001, Papa John’s began sponsoring the final leg of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running, presented by Novo Nordisk. The race is recognized as one of the Country’s Top Six races by Runner’s World magazine. For this year, we have a chance for a Triple Crown Team Challenge Winner, as well! “The Trail Store” team was first in each of the two races. 26 teams are registered in the 2009 Team Challenge.
