  • 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.

  • What's Behind a Marathon? Process Management in Sports Running
    sustainability Article What’s Behind a Marathon? Process Management in Sports Running Events Aurora M. García-Vallejo 1,* , Alberto Albahari 2, Vicente Añó-Sanz 3 and Aurora Garrido-Moreno 2 1 Doctoral Program in Economics and Business, Department of Economics and Business Administration, Universidad de Málaga, 29016 Málaga, Spain 2 Department of Economics and Business Administration, Universidad de Málaga, 29016 Málaga, Spain; [email protected] (A.A.); [email protected] (A.G.-M.) 3 Department of Physical Education and Sports, Universitat de València, 46010 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 June 2020; Accepted: 23 July 2020; Published: 26 July 2020 Abstract: The repercussion of urban running competitions such as marathons is tremendous, and the planning of these races involves a large number of strategic decisions. For this reason, this study analyzes the processes of organizing large marathons in Spain. The aim is to propose a systematic and sustainable model of excellence for the organization of sports events based on process management. To design the model, we followed a qualitative methodology using information obtained in 18 semi-structured interviews. The interviewees were experts in charge of the five most significant marathons in Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Seville and Valencia). The final contribution of the study is the proposal of a process map developed by identifying the main areas of competence and tasks, the relationships among the areas, and the timeline of these relationships. The process map unifies the processes established based on the preceding information and classifies them as management, core and support processes.
