Benefiting the Chris Briede Fund and the LA/SPCA

Runners and walkers gathered at the Lake Pontchartrain Lakefront in Bucktown on Saturday, March 8th, 2014 to race distances of 1 mile and 3 miles and help benefit the Chris Briede Fund and the Louisiana SPCA as well as kickoff the 2014 NOTC Grand Prix Series sponsored by Varsity Sports.

Former NOTC Board Member Nick Accardo captured the men's 3-mile title with a time of 16:06 on the out and back course on the levee. Johanna Gretschel, a Tulane alumnus, was the women's victor in a time of 18:28. You can read about Johanna's riveting and humorous race experience in the sidebar.

Guest Race Recap

There's nothing like a little sunshine to wash away the post-Mardi Gras blues – and nothing like a fun run to vanquish the last vestiges of all that Fat Tuesday has to offer.

Clear skies and quick times reigned supreme at the 47th Annual Al Briede Gold Cup Race, held Saturday, March 8 on the Lakefront.

Thirteen-year-old Emily Blanchard started the morning off with an overall win in the one mile run, clocking 7:18. Kenny Hurst (32) finished second overall and first male with a 7:36 run time.

8:20 a.m. signaled go time for the main event – a three mile out-and-back race mapped down the paved path between the levee and Mississippi River. The race would mark the first qualifier of New Orleans Track Club's revamped Grand Prix Race Series. With a fresh start to the race series, runners were chomping at the bit to get rolling – though some not quite so much.

The flat course lent itself to a quick start and more than a few of my fellow competitors said as much. "They're not messing around today – people are takin' off!" Colorful commentary and pace banter continued through the first 800 meters. As for me? The pace was a bit more than I had planned, but I was saving my breath for impending oxygen debt. I feel good now, but it's only a matter of time...

Up ahead, Nick Accardo (31) threw down a deuce to the rest of the field. The former LSU Tiger-turned ultramarathoner led wire-to-wire for the win in 16:06 and was unavailable for comment after the race. Onlookers speculated that he was already off getting the rest of his 50 miles in for the day.

Behind Accardo, Paul Thiels and Phil Jones impressed by claiming both the number 2-3 overall spots as well as the Master and Grandmaster titles. Thiels placed second overall and took the Master title with a solid 16:47 outing. The 50-year-old said he has recently returned to Tuesday track workouts with the Power Milers and was pleased with the result. Jones (58) won the Grandmaster title and took the overall bronze.
