“This was such a great way to celebrate the 11th Papa John’s 10 Miler. Great performances from all our participants, a course record for women and a record number of participants, we couldn’t be more pleased with all the results. It was a great day, with a great crowd, the race continues to grow and get better.” said Rene Kesterson, Race Director. In its eleven year history, the race has consistently ranked in the Top 10 for ten-mile competitions (per Running USA’s road race rankings).

“However, the real winners are this community and the WHAS Crusade for Children,” said Kesterson. “We hope that the Louisville Triple Crown of Running will be able to donate more than $130,000 to the Crusade from the proceeds of the three races.”
