  • Festus Talam Demonstrates the Runczech Racing Project at Full Strength in the DLL Eindhoven Marathon
    PRESS RELEASE 13th October 2016 Festus Talam demonstrates the RunCzech Racing project at full strength in the DLL Eindhoven Marathon Festus Talam is not the first man to start a marathon as pacemaker and finish it as a winner, but he is simply the best. Talam, 21, was making his marathon debut in Eindhoven last Sunday, October 9. But, having completed his pacing duties at 35K, he carried on to smash a high-class elite field and record a superlative winning time of 2:06:26, the fastest ever for a debutant. Born in Baringo County in Kenya, Festus started to train at the age of 15 with a dream of having a better life for himself and his family, like thousands of other Kenyan runners. “I didn’t like running in the beginning, but my family encouraged me to train. They believed I had talent.” – recalled Festus. His first international race Festus organized by himself. “I just wanted to run a race overseas. They had a series of three races in two days, and I told them I will win all,” – said a smiling Festus, - “and I did.” Talam was drafted into the RunCzech Racing team in 2014 by the late Zane Branson and his management team. That same year, Festus made his international debut as a RunCzech Racing athlete in the Mattoni Karlovy Vary Half Marathon, where he finished second with a personal best of 1:02:25. That was followed by reasonable performances in various races in Europe. In 2015 for the first time Festus tried out the role of a pacemaker in the Eindhoven Marathon, and impressed everybody with a strong performance up to 32K, at 2:05 marathon pace.

  • The Things Runners Have Built
    The Things Runners Have Built Jackie Lebo takes us to Eldoret, Kenya where development is taking place thanks to the investment of earnings of Kenyan runners. On this hot Saturday in early June, it seems half of Eldoret has come to shop for groceries at Tusker Mattresses Supermarket. The parking lot across the road is full. People come out, from whole families laden with paper bags branded with the supermarket logo to lone women balancing bags on their heads braving the blistering sun on their long walk home. Tusker Mattresses Supermarket is located on two floors of the five-story Komora Centre, a large building in the middle of town that covers almost an entire city block. It is owned by Moses Kiptanui, the runner who dominated the 3000 m steeplechase races for about five years in the nineties. Kiptanui broke world records, won awards, and the only thing that eluded him was the Olympic gold, which he lost by a razor thin margin to fellow Kenyan Joseph Keter in the 1996 Atlanta games. The steeplechase is special. Even more than other middle and long distance races that have brought Kenyans fame, Kenyan steeplechasers have won all eight times they entered during the last ten Olympics. In 1976 and 1980 Kenya boycotted the Olympics. It is fitting that Kiptanui, one of Kenya’s most successful athletes, is now one of the largest athlete-investors in Eldoret. Eldoret is experiencing a property boom, with growth rates of almost 8%, three times the national average. The changing skyline shows the continuing investment of runners in commercial real estate.

    adidas Olympic Games Heritage 1920 Herzogenaurach Adi Dassler Adi Dassler made his first ‘handmade’ training shoe in his parents’ 20-square metre washroom. 1928 Amsterdam Lina Radke Eight years on and adi's shoes made their debut at the Amsterdam Olympic Games with immediate success as Karoline Radke-Batschauer “Lina Radke” won Gold in the first ever Women’s 800m competition in World Record time. 1932 Los Angeles Arthur Jonath As the Great Depression gripped the world, Hollywood welcomed the Olympic Games and Adi Dassler crafted a new track spike, featuring stitched “stripes” and reinforced eye-stays. Two athletes won medals in Adi’s shoes: Germany’s Arthur Jonath and American Wilhelmina von Bremen both clinched gold in their respective 100m finals. 1936 Berlin Jesse Owens As politics and sport collided in Berlin, Adi Dassler remained focused on making the best footwear products for athletes including James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens. The young American was the most successful athlete in Berlin, winning four gold medals in front of Adolf Hitler in shoes that boasted specially positioned spikes and low-cut upper. 1948 London Emil Zátopek Post World War II the Olympic Games were seen as a way of reuniting the world through athletic competition and the spirit of true sportsmanship. In a glimpse of things to come, Emil Zátopek, the young “Czech Locomotive”, ran to Gold in the 10,000m and Silver in the 5,000m wearing Dassler’s lightweight shoes. In the same year, “adidas” was registered as the brand with the three stripes. 1952 Helsinki Bob Mathias In one of the greatest performances of all time, Emil Zátopek pulled off an incredible triple at the Helsinki Olympic Games winning Gold in the 5,000m, 10,000m, and the marathon over the course of seven days.
