The Carlsbad 5000 road race has been a spring tradition in Southern California since 1986 and features a full weekend of running festivities. The ‘World’s Fastest 5k’ welcomes runners of all ages and paces to a fast oceanfront course with unforgettable views and an energetic atmosphere. Even the youngest runners show up for the iconic Junior Carlsbad kids race. The full day of racing culminates when the fastest running professionals on the planet look to set new world and national records in the Elite Invitationals!
This race used to be excited and the Worlds fastest 5k. So many great runner ran on those streets & so many world records . Now, nothing special &’lost all the flavor. Big mistake changing the course created by the great & legendary Steve Scott . Good luck with all the marketing & new ideas. Hopefully will be very profitable for all of you . 🙏😢
Thank you for this Toni! This was a wonderful recap of one of America's classic road races! No other race announcer knows the details & intricacies of running like you do! Hopefully, we can one day again co-announce the Cleveland Marathon together again like we have a couple times in the past! Thank you!
Amazing to see and hear Toni Reavis presenting this. He has done it for ages, and I feel every time inspired when I hear him presenting Carlsbad 5000 to start the outdoor season with ambition and joy for speed 😃💪
Galvan destroyed the field. There used to be world class runners and times years ago. Once the big prize $ went away, so did the world class runners. Now you have elite runners.
I love seeing all the runners ~ Congratulations! I love that my Mexican runners are making a difference as well & representing with us with Pride. 🤩🏃♀🏃♂🎉
It's a shame that the coverage spent about 75% of the men's race, showing just the females. People want to see the best runners please. If you want to show the end of the women's race after the men are done fine, but don't omit the coverage of the top race to show the slower women.
They usually have one camera 📷 so since there was a big gap they weren't showing second and third. The men had a pack. Cool it with the Marxist feminist conspiracies. You go and film next year hero 😂
@@soc2168 Usa is better at running than the Uk… I don’t see your point. Also only an elite athlete could break these times. It’s called worlds fastest to bring attention in. If anyone at a park run is breaking 14, they are an elite runner.
This race every year getting slower and slower. 13”50 few years ago you make close to last place. Course has changed for better views from spectators putting performance & fast times in second palce. Looks like a race for marketing &$$$ nothing more . Too bad . Not the Worlds fastest 5k anymore 😢
"worlds fastest 5k" 🤣typical Americans. I could name 5 faster courses in the uk. The first 132 finisher at the armagh 5k went under 15 minutes back in February with the winner in 13:37.
The winner here came in at 13:50? The course is also harder than that course that you mentioned.. It’s called worlds fastest 5k to drag attention you genius.
