*In 2006, record keeping standards were changed to recognize the difference between women running with men in a mixed
race, and women running in an all-women’s race. Cherry Blossom race organizers implemented a 10-minute advanced
start for women that year, and all subsequent women’s World and American records have been set under this format.
While countless age group records have been set at the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run over the years, the
tables below list current age group event records for men and women. Looking ahead to the 2019 race, it’s quite possible
that 46-year-old Deena Kastor will break both the American age-group record (57:09) and the Cherry Blossom age-group
record for 10 miles (56:33).
