In 1993, the Metro Parks Classic 15k was the second leg of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running. Held out at the Outlets Mall (now Garden Ridge) the 15k ran through the what was then the country back roads of Jeffersontown that are now full of subdivisions and corporate parks. It was sponsored by KFC and Pepsi.

Not the best planning, the race took off to loop the mall before heading out and the front of the race ran into the back of the runners still taking off from the start. Scott Walschlager and Camille Forrester Estes would come away with the wins.

Once again the Louisville Defender newspaper was there to shoot candids and publish results. With no internet back then, you had to wait for the paper to come out a few days later to see what your time and place was. We sure are spoiled now. Click here to check out the photos from the race.
