Ken Vicknair is a familiar face to many NOTC members, having worked the NOTC finish line for many years and coordinating the volunteers for it. Ken was on the NOTC Board for ten years, serving 2 years as Vice-President, and introduced color photography to the NOTC magazine, Footprints.

Ken served as President of the NOTC from 2004-2006, leading the club through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Ken helped negotiate the Sugar Bowl contract for sponsorship of the Mardi Gras Marathon and traveled to various marathon expos to promote the Mardi Gras Marathon. It was Ken’s hard work promoting the Mardi Gras Marathon that helped build participation numbers up to 7,500 in 2009, which enabled the club to partner with Rock and Roll Marathons.

Ken secured various sponsorships, including Subway sandwiches for the Mardi Gras Marathon. Ken also served as a Crescent City Classic board member and volunteer. Ken was always available to help repair NOTC club equipment when it broke down.
