This is the same course over which Paul Tergat broke the world 15km record in 1994 in a time of 42:13 .<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The course was then reduced to 10km and the current women&#8217;s record holder is Asmae Leghzaoui (Morocco) with a time of 31&#8217;23, and Albert Chepkurui (Kenya) holds the best male performance on French territory for 10 km, on this course, with a time of 27&#8217;31&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the world class field, this event draws French runners from all over France of all ages. It includes fun runs for the ages of 6 upwards and a popular 5km . It is a real family outing as the race organisation is one of the few that provides a cr\u00eache, face painting and many other side activities for children. The race can be viewed from many positions within the park so that it has also become a spectator attraction.<\/p>\n<p>Cassandra Davis from Time-to-Run&#8217;s Women&#8217;s section will report on this event from France, and will interview one or two of the top competitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Courneuve International 10km Race, France 16:00, Sun 31 Mar 2002 This international 10km race which takes place outside Paris on a race course entirely held on tarred roads in a magnificent green park (350 hectares of which 120 are wooded, 95 grass and 6 floral) has become one of the top races on the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[240,5,4],"class_list":["post-6","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-10km","category-news","tag-10km","tag-france","tag-la-courneuve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
