NEW YORK (05-Jun) -- Halfway through the 2024 Mastercard New York Mini 10K here in Central Park, Amanda Vestri quickly took stock of her position.  She was running in fourth place and the three women who were just one-second ahead of her --Senbere Teferi of Ethiopia, and Sharon Lokedi and Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya-- were among the world's best road runners.  It was time to test herself. "My goal was to be top American in the race," she told Race Results Weekly a year ago.  "So, there was a moment in time when it was either stay back with the chunk of the Americans or go ahead with the faster women at the front." Vestri, now 25, stayed cool as the three Africans eventually pulled away.  She went into grind mode and pushed through the second half alone.  Somehow, she managed to achieve a negative split (15:40 for the first half and 15:37 for the second), and finished fourth in a personal best 31:17.  She earned $7500 in prize money, a hugely important payday for a runner who was part of a well-established training group but had no shoe company sponsorship at the time. "That's probably one of the first things that my coach (Pete Rea of ZAP Endurance) mentioned to me after the race," Vestri said in a telephone interview yesterday when asked about that negative split.  She continued: "Obviously, the goal is the same this year, just to go faster." Vestri --along with another 10,000 women-- will race the 53rd edition of the Mini here on Saturday, the world's first-ever road race for women, founded in 1972 by New York Road Runners.  She is part of an incredible elite field which includes some of the very best American distance women, like Olympians Weini Kelati, Emily Sisson, Emily Infeld, and Dakotah Popehn.  Abbott World Majors champions Hellen Obiri and Sharon Lokedi of Kenya, and Gotytom Gebreslase are also in the field (Teferi will not be back to defend her title). Vestri comes into this year's Mini as a completely different athlete from a year ago.  Working with her agent Josh Cox, she picked up a sponsorship with Brooks Running (based, at least in part, on her Mini performance), and has been stacking up months of quality training under Coach Rea and his deputy Ryan Warrenburg. "I just feel like the consistency that we had built throughout the last summer of 2023, after I graduated, and then into 2024 started compounding," Vestri explained.  "Month after month, I just felt like I was getting better and better, and training seemed to be getting better every month, even every week." After her Mini success, Vestri has achieved extraordinary growth as an athlete.  She took fifth in the USA Olympic Team Trials 10,000m last summer just three weeks after the Mini, beaten only by Weini Kelati, Parker Valby, Karissa Schweizer, and Jessica McClain.  She got second at the USATF 6K road running championships, and sixth at the USATF 10K road running championships. A year earlier it seemed unlikely that she would be a factor in those races, but her run at the Mini changed all that. "It just kind of all culminated at the New York Mini," Vestri said.  "That's why this race is so special to me.  I don't know; it just kind of gave me a different confidence as a runner."  She added: "I'm excited to be back." Vestri wanted to try the half-marathon distance last fall, and Coach Rea was all-in.  She had planned to peak for the Valencia Half-Marathon at the end of October, but a little injury forced her to push back her schedule.  Instead of taking the long trip to Spain, Vestri went to Florida and ran in the low-key OUC Orlando Half-Marathon last December.  She popped a solo 1:08:12 in her debut making her the fourth-fastest American for 2024. "My coach and I always wanted to go up to the half this past fall," Vestri said.  "The plan was to do the Valencia Half-Marathon because we were just like, we want to run fast.  We want to go as far under 67 minutes as we can, and when I had that hiccup, that little injury, in October we were like, OK, we have to re-route now.  So, I took a few weeks off, and I'm actually the one who brought up the idea of doing Orlando just as a rust-buster, not for a good time.  I went into that race going, if I run under 70 minutes I'm going to be stoked.  So for me, it came as quite a shock that I came across the line close to 68 minutes.  I guess I didn't realize how good it was at the time." She ran even faster at the Aramco Half-Marathon last January, arguably the most competitive half-marathon in the United States.  She finished fourth in 1:07:35 after smoking through 10K in 31:40 and ten miles in 51:17.  Remarkably, Vestri wasn't satisfied with that performance because her expectations had risen. "We started thinking better numbers in Houston because we know how stacked Houston is," Vestri said.  "Houston is another one of those races I feel, and my coaches feel, was an under-performance day.  I kind of grade myself on effort and performance outcomes after the race."  She continued: "Houston should have been a 67-flat day, or under.  That's where my fitness was at at the time." Vestri would run one more half in that training cycle, the USATF Half-Marathon Championships in Atlanta on March 2, part of the Publix Atlanta Marathon Weekend hosted by the Atlanta Track Club.  On a raw and windy day, she took third on a hilly course in 1:08:17 behind Taylor Roe (1:07:22) and Emma Grace Hurley (1:07:35).  She qualified for Team USATF for the (now cancelled) 2025 World Athletics Road Running Championships. "Atlanta was just a grind fest," Vestri lamented.  "I felt really, really bad the whole way.  That one was all heart.  There was no good feelings for me in that race, physically." Since then Vestri has raced three times, from the mile to 10,000m.  She was happy with two of them, but the third was a big disappointment for her.  At The TEN in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., on March 29, she finished 18th in 31:56.56, nowhere near what she had hoped for. "That race was one of the ugliest races of my life," Vestri groaned.  She continued: "When me and my coaches sat down after that race, we all think that what happened is that the three half-marathons, which was a new distance for me last year, in the span of three months that I did it in was just too much on my body and I did not give myself a chance to recover after them.  We were asking my body a little too much at that point." Vestri's most recent race, a 5000m personal best at the Sound Running Track Fest in Los Angeles on May 24, went much better.  She finished fifth in a personal best 15:01.22.  That came on the heels of a 4:47.8 road mile in North Carolina, a race she did for training.  Those two races stimulated a different part of her aerobic system, part of her quest to be a more complete athlete. "We're going to dip down now," said Vestri, who explained that she needed to also work on her speed.  "It's not going to be comfortable; it's going to feel like you're sprinting.  But, at the end of the day that's only going to help your 5K, which is going to help your 10K, which is going to help your half-marathon, which is going to help your marathon.  That's kind of the approach that we took for that one." Reflecting on the past 12 months, Vestri has learned a lot about professional running and about herself.  She's learned to trust the key people who are in her corner, she understands better the business end of the sport, and she's learned not to worry too much about the approval of others.  She's also trying not to be so hard on herself. "Because I take my workouts so seriously I do have those high expectations for myself," she said.  "It's me putting those expectations on myself, it's no one else.  I just feel like that's always how I've been.  I think that's ingrained in a lot of runners.  We're always, like, type-A, I feel.  I envy the type-B runners.  I know some type-B runners and I'm like, I wish I was you."

(31-May) -- Through a lashing rain and several ankle-deep puddles, Molly Born of the Puma Elite Running team cruised to victory at the 47th Delightful Run For Women 5K.  Despite the awful weather, the 25-year-old former Oklahoma State athlete ran a surprisingly fast 15:31, finishing six seconds ahead of her teammate Jessica McGorty.  Born's time was a personal best and the fastest here in 11 years. "I'm just excited to get back out racing pushing it, making it hard, getting the most out of it," said Born, who hadn't run a race since last November because she was recovering from a stress fracture. Born made her intentions known early.  She and McGorty led key rivals Amy Davis-Green (Hansons-Brooks ODP) and Anna Kostarellis (Asics) through the uphill first kilometer.  The wind and rain were hitting them directly in the face, but both Born and McGorty looked composed.  Born was embracing the bad conditions. "The headwind was really bad in the first, like, K," Born told Race Results Weekly.  "But, I kind of like the bad weather, too." As the leaders turned left into Washington Park where the course goes up and down several short hills, Born used the first downhill to open a gap on McGorty.  She split the first (mostly uphill) mile in 5:17, two seconds ahead of McGorty, a 1500m runner with a powerful kick. "Jess is so fast, I needed to make the race hard," Born said of her strategy.  "I just felt good the first mile." Born ran the up-and-down second mile in a very fast 5:00, increasing her lead on McGorty to 20 seconds.  She shot one final glance back over her left shoulder before plowing through a huge puddle at the park's exit.  When she made the final right turn onto Washington Avenue for the long straightaway to the finish, she was greeted by applause and shouts of encouragement from the runners at the back of the pack who were running in the opposite direction. "All the women were just going crazy on the other side of the street," Born said.  "It was amazing.  They were so, so excited and cheering me on.  It was great." McGorty, who also set a personal best, wasn't surprised that Born got the win today. "I would have liked to stay with her longer, but Molly's tough," McGorty said.  "She's strong and has been having some really good workouts, so the fact that she's out there grinding by herself was not a surprise to me at all.  I'm very happy for her." Davis-Green, who finished second last year, was able to stay close to McGorty in the middle section of the race, but fell behind in the final kilometer.  She finished third in 16:04.  That mark was slower than her 15:45 last year, but was still remarkable given that the 2:28 marathoner is 12 weeks pregnant. "To run almost sub-16:00 I was really pleased with," the rain-soaked Davis-Green said.  "That was really nice." Kostarellis, who like McGorty grew up in Upstate New York, finished fourth in 16:28.  Standing at the finish line with the back of her Asics uniform splattered with mud she said, "That was brutal." The top four women earned $3000, $2500, $2000 and $1500 in prize money, respectively.  When a reporter mentioned to Born that she now had some extra money for end-of-year holiday shopping she smiled. "It will probably go to rent," she said. PHOTO: Molly Born winning the 2025 Delightful Run for Women 5K in a personal best 15:31 (photo by Jane Monti for Race Results Weekly)

(c) 2025 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved. Published with permission. (30-May) -- When she was a student at Churchville-Chili Central High School in Upstate New York, Anna Kostarellis didn't want to be a runner.  Drawn to the soccer pitch instead, running held little attraction for her. "The running for itself was actually looked down upon, I'd say," Kostarellis told Race Results Weekly in a telephone interview yesterday from O'Hare Airport in Chicago where she was changing planes.  "I had a pretty negative idea of cross country runners.  It was sort of like those were the only people who couldn't make another sport.  That was the attitude around running in my high school." Little did she know that a missed soccer team tryout would lead to a surprising, six-year collegiate running career and eventually a pro contract with Asics.  The now 25-year-old will be taking on a classic road running double for women, competing in tomorrow's Delightful Run for Women 5K in Albany, N.Y. (formerly called the Freihofer's Run for Women), then the Mastercard New York Mini 10K in New York City a week later. "I just accidentally happened to miss tryouts for soccer that year and the only sport that took applicants any time of year was cross country," Kostarellis continued.  "I had just basically done a few local 5K's, and was given the opportunity to join the team for the rest of the season." While she discovered her talent for running, she didn't love it. "This is not the most fun I've had in sports," Kostarellis said. As a senior in 2017, she took third in the mile at the New Balance Nationals Indoors in a personal best 4:50.95, and began her collegiate career at Xavier University of Ohio in Cincinnati in the fall.  She competed well, finishing second at the Big East Cross Country Championships, 11th at the Great Lakes Regionals, and 66th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. But like thousands of other student-athletes, Kostarellis's collegiate career was derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.  That took her on a journey from Xavier to both the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque then eventually Baylor University in Waco, Texas.  The NCAA allowed student-athletes affected by the pandemic to actively compete over a stretch of six years. "COVID happened, then the opportunity to get another year of eligibility prompted me to think that now I could... potentially get a masters degree," she said.  "That was part of my reasoning to move to New Mexico and get another degree." As a Lobo she finished 10th in the Mountain West Cross Country Championships and 144th in the special March, 2021 edition of the 2020 NCAA Cross Country Championships.  Kostarellis loved the trails and mountains of New Mexico (she resides in Albuquerque now), but overall things were not going well for her at UNM. "UNM was definitely the most adversity I've faced in running and culture behind running," Kostarellis explained.  She continued: "I don't think that any of the results (of her training) showed in New Mexico."  She continued: "I think a lot of lessons were learned." In Albuquerque Kostarellis ran much higher mileage than she had before and, of course, she was doing all of her training at altitude.  Her body pushed back. "I was running about 30 miles a week more than I ever had before, and I was doing longer workouts than I had ever done before, and I wasn't given much of a grace period to adapt to that," she said.  "I found myself pretty over-trained.  She continued: "I basically walked away injured and pretty burned out." Kostarellis took a step back from running and left collegiate athletics in 2022 after getting her MBA from New Mexico.  "I went back to New York and basically started running for fun," she said.  "For that whole spring and fall I was just training myself." But she had one year of NCAA eligibility left, and decided to go back to college so she could compete again.  She wanted to go to a Christian school and narrowed it down to Liberty University in Virginia and Baylor.  She decided on Baylor ("I fell in love with the place," she said), a school better known for developing long sprinters, and everything clicked.  She ran personal bests and school records of 15:39.16 for 5000m and 32:10.96 for 10,000m.  Her mark in the longer race qualified her for the 2024 USA Olympic Team Trials, but she was unable to compete after falling on a training run and banging her knee. "That was really unfortunate," Kostarellis said.  She continued: "I tripped on a root and hit my knee on a rock.  It was not a really long injury at all, maybe a week and a half.  But the timing when it happened was, unfortunately, at the wrong place and the wrong time." But better times were ahead for Kostarellis, who was learning to love longer distances.  She got her first pro win at the 2024 Buffalo Subaru 4-Mile Chase, took seventh at the Boilermaker 15K in Utica, N.Y., finished 11th at the Falmouth Road Race, and ninth at the USATF 10K Championships at the Great Cow Harbor 10-K in Northport, N.Y. Now coached by Ryan Bolton (who coached Ryan Hall), Kostarellis has developed much greater strength and endurance.  She ran two solid half-marathons this year, a 1:11:22 personal best at the Aramco Houston Half-Marathon in January and a 1:11:58 at the hilly USATF Half-Marathon Championships in Atlanta in March.  With that new-found strength, she's excited to race "over-speed" at the Delightful Run on Saturday.  She'll need to run in the 15:30 to 15:45 range to be competitive for the win. "I'm passionate about the long distances, and I really do love getting to race the halfs," she said.  She continued: "I feel like I'm in a good place with my fitness, so it's more like learning to shift gears for the 5K and 10K distances which I have raced before.  I'm looking forward to testing myself." In Albany, Kostarellis's key rivals should be Jess McGorty and Molly Born of the North Carolina-based Puma Elite Running team coached by Alistair and Amy Cragg, and Amy Davis-Green of the Hansons Brooks Original Distance Project in Michigan coached by Keith and Kevin Hanson (Davis-Green finished second last year).  Kostarellis is very familiar with McGorty who, as Jess Lawson, competed against her in high school. "It's great to see that even at such a young age we had each other to push each other," she said of McGorty.  She added: "This shows the depth of the girls in New York which is pretty amazing." But running well at the Delightful Run is only half of Kostarellis's upcoming challenge.  The Mastercard Mini 10K has a world-class field where she is only ranked 28th based on personal best.  She's excited for that kind of competition, she said, and has visualized the race venues to help her get ready.  She also knows she has to compete against the best women in order to improve. "They both go through beautiful parks," Kostarellis said of Washington Park in Albany and Central Park in New York City.  She continued: "In New York City there are high stakes and the field is very, very competitive.  When you turn pro you learn how to try to realize that you still belong in the field, even if some of them are way ahead of you, and just learn how to take things to the next level." The Delightful Run for Women will be held for the 46th time as an in-person race (there was also a virtual version in 2020), and last year's race had 2090 finishers.  The event record is 15:11.1 by Emily Chebet of Kenya in 2010 (on a different, but similar course).  Open prize money will be paid 10-deep from $3000 for the winner down to $350 for 10th place.  The masters winner will receive $1000.

Running USA Executive Director Jay Holder sat down with Nathan Nicholas of Nicholas Hill Group to address updates and improvements to the Running USA insurance program, a foundational member benefit. With market-driven changes taking place, this discussion shed light on what members need to know moving forward. You can view the entire conversation in the video above, and highlights are summarized below. Why the Change in Insurance Carriers? Nicholas Hill Group, a longtime insurance partner for Running USA, recently transitioned the program to a new carrier after Everest Insurance exited the market at the end of 2024. This unexpected development, announced around the holiday season, required a swift response. “We didn’t see it coming,” Nicholas explained. “ We had to pivot quickly and find a new home that aligned with our priorities—stability, simplicity, and affordability.” Despite the challenges, Nicholas Hill Group secured a new carrier that maintains the program’s core benefits while enhancing its accessibility and operational efficiency. What's Staying the Same—and What’s Changing? Same: Rates per participant: The per-participant fee structure remains unchanged, offering continuity in pricing. Simple online platform: Members can still complete the entire process—quote, purchase, certificate issuance—in minutes. Coverage scope: From small charity walks to large ultramarathons, all events continue to be covered under the policy. Changes: Minimum Premium and Additional Insured Fees: These upfront costs have increased slightly. Events with fewer than 100 participants may see higher base costs due to the new carrier’s state-filed rates. Policy Length Limitation: Organizers can currently only insure events up to April 1, 2026. This is a temporary structural constraint based on the one-year term of the master policy and will be extended as the program renews. Broader availability of optional coverages: Enhancements like liquor liability (for events where alcohol is sold or served by the organizer) are now available in more jurisdictions than before. Optional Enhancements and Built-In Protections Nicholas highlighted several optional add-ons that members can use to tailor coverage: Liquor Liability Insurance: Now available in more locations, this add-on is essential if your event includes alcohol sales or direct service. Non-Owned Auto Coverage: For events involving volunteer or rented vehicle use. Participant Accident Coverage: Included automatically, this helps with medical expenses if someone is injured at the event. Event cancellation coverage—still available—remains a separate offering. Due to increasing weather-related disruptions, it’s more relevant than ever. Nicholas strongly recommended organizers consider it and noted that Running USA has resources to help members evaluate this option. The Importance of Critical Mass Why should more Running USA members use this insurance platform? Nicholas explained: “The more members participate, the more leverage we all have to negotiate better rates and enhanced coverage.” With increased participation comes increased bargaining power—essential for influencing future policy changes, such as addressing coverage gaps for common issues like service animals at races. "This is your program," he emphasized. "It belongs to Running USA members. The more people who use it and share their experiences, the better we can make it." How to Sign Up or Learn More The good news is that the Running USA insurance program has emerged from transition stronger and more capable than ever. With stable pricing, familiar processes, and added flexibility, the program remains a cornerstone benefit for event organizers across the country.

(29-May) -- Organizers of the 53rd edition of the Mastercard New York Mini 10-K on Saturday, June 7, in New York City have released their elite field, and it's truly stellar.  New York Road Runners officials said yesterday that the Mini --the world's first-ever road race for women, founded in 1972-- would boast 17 Olympians and Paralympians, Olympic and World Championship medalists, Abbott World Marathon Majors champions, and arguably the best field of American distance women assembled outside of a national track championships.  The race is also sold out with over 10,000 entries. "I always look forward to the Mastercard New York Mini 10K, and I'm excited to race it for the fourth year in a row," said two-time USA Olympian Emily Sisson, who just set a 10K personal best of 31:03 in Manchester, England, last Sunday.  "It's a special chance to reconnect with my Olympic teammates, compete with some of the top women athletes, and run alongside 10,000 inspiring women brought together by a shared love of the sport." At the front of the race, 2024 Kenyan Olympic teammates Hellen Obiri and Sharon Lokedi will renew their road racing rivalry.  At the Paris Olympics last August Obiri finished one place ahead of Lokedi, taking the bronze medal with Lokedi just four seconds behind.  But at this year's Boston Marathon it was Lokedi who finished ahead of Obiri, winning her first Boston Marathon and her second Abbott World Marathon Majors event.  She was the runner-up to 2024 Mini champion, Senbere Teferi of Ethiopia, who will not be defending her title this year. "New York City has been a special place for me ever since I won the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon in my debut," Lokedi said through a media release.  "I'm excited to be back competing in Central Park after winning my first United Airlines NYC Half in March and the Boston Marathon (in April) to continue the momentum as I take on my third Mastercard New York Mini 10K." Three other athletes from Africa --Gotytom Gebreslase of Ethiopia, and Grace Nawowuna and Viola Cheptoo of Kenya-- also hope to add their names to the Mini's prestigious winners' list.  Gebreslase was the 2022 world marathon champion in Eugene, Ore., and won the silver medal at the 2023 edition of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest in 2023.  Nawowuna, who is only 21, was fourth at the 2023 World Athletics Cross Country Championships and has a fast 30:27 10-K personal best.  Cheptoo, a younger sister of five-time world indoor/outdoor track champion Bernard Lagat, was the runner-up at the 2021 TCS New York City Marathon.  She is coming back from a hip injury. The strength of the American field is noteworthy.  With the USATF Outdoor Track & Field Championships scheduled to begin in late July instead of the usual late June, USA athletes have a clear window to compete at the Mini and have plenty of time to recover for the track championships.  That allowed many of the very best 10K women --Weini Kelati, Taylor Roe, Sisson, Amanda Vestri, Emma Grace Hurley, Emily Durgin, Emily Infeld, Annie Frisbie, Dakotah Popehn, and Erika Kemp-- to all compete at the race. Kelati, the 2024 USA Olympic Trials 10,000m champion, has never competed at the Mini.  She has a fast 10K personal best of 30:50 set en route to her national half-marathon record of 1:06:09 at the Aramco Houston Half-Marathon last January.  Roe --who is the USATF 10K record holder with a 30:56 personal best set en route to her national 10-mile record and world best of 49:53 at the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10-Mile last month-- is also a Mini rookie.  Vestri had a breakthrough performance at last year's Mini, finishing fourth in a personal best 31:17, and Hurley was the runner-up to Roe at the 2025 USATF Half-Marathon Championships in Atlanta.  She just ran a personal best of 31:00 in Tokyo on May 3. Susannah Scaroni hopes to win the professional wheelchair division of the Mini for the sixth time.  The four-time Paralympian and recent Boston Marathon champion broke her own event record in the wheelchair division the last time she competed in 2023, and has won all five editions of the professional wheelchair division since it was added to the Mini in 2018. "I'm thrilled to return to the Mastercard New York Mini 10K and defend my title for the sixth time," Scaroni said through a statement. "It's always such an empowering race that brings together world-class athletes, women of all ages, and girls representing the future of the sport participating in the (companion) Girls Run." Some of the best women in the history of distance running have been Mini champions including Norway's Grete Waitz (five wins between 1979 and 1984), Kenya's Tegla Loroupe (five wins between 1993 and 2000), the Netherlands' Lornah Kiplagat (four wins between 2003 and 2007), Britain's Paula Radcliffe (2001), and Kenya's Mary Keitany (three wins from 2015 to 2018).  The last American athlete to win the Mini was Sara Hall in 2021. The 2024 Mini, which was held in sunny and warm conditions, had a race-record 9,688 finishers.
