105th Annual Jackson Day Race

The 105th running of the Jackson Day 9K Race from Old Spanish Fort to Jackson Square was blessed with a crisp sunny day with no wind. National Park reenactors brandished muskets and posed for photos with the runners adding to the 1814 theme of the race. Close to 700 runners toed the line and listened as the Battle of New Orleans played and some sang along.

When the gun went off it was Andrew Barton, Brendan Minihan, Jr. and Sean Fitzwilliam running in a pack. After the two mile mark and on the downhill, Barton pulled away from the pack and led the race all the way to Jackson Square, finishing in a time of 29:47. Minihan was second in 30:13 and Fitzwilliam third in 30:32. In the women's race Megan Gubbins finished first in 35:58, second was Celeste Dolan in 36:38 and Mary Erin Imwalle finished third in 36:48.

The Steamboat Natchez dock provided the location for post-race refreshments and awards presentations. Thanks to our sponsors JACOBS ENGINEERING, US Risk Management, National Park Service, Southern Runner Sports, All American Chiropractic, Mizuno, Kentwood, Crescent Crown Distributing, Baker Maid and Monster Energy Drink.

30th Annual Ole Man River

Clear, sunny skies and temperatures in the 40's made for a great start for the 30th running of the Ole Man River Half Marathon and 5K. A fast USATF-certified course invited Natasha Solovyeva to New Orleans from Memphis, TN where she just ran 1:15:22 at the St. Jude Memphis Half Marathon. Solovyeva won the Ole Man River Half Marathon women's division with a time of 1:22:41 but did not break Sarah Skotty's course record of 1:22:35. Second place was Charlotte Everhardt in a time of 1:23:49 and third place was Felicity Brower of Cincinnati, OH with a time of 1:24:05.

The winner of the men's division was Andrew Barton running for Southern Runner in a time of 1:12:11, second place was Will Bernarldo running for Louisiana Running in a time of 1:14:01 and third place Brendan Minihan, Jr. running for Varsity Sports in a time of 1:14:21.

Over 1100 runners entered the two races. The New Orleans Recreation Department and Team in Training will benefit from the race.
