CAP10K IS BACK n Sitting down with race director Jeffery Simecek about past years’ bad luck and the future of the iconic race.

n 2019, the Statesman Cap10K had to call off its event due to inclement weather. Then, in 2020, COVID-19 forced the event to once again call off the in-person event and go virtual — then again in 2021. Now, after three years of bad luck, the Cap10K is planning to celebrate the 45th anniversary with an in-person event designed to get Austinites moving together again. To hear more about the history of the race and what to expect in 2022’s race, AFM sat down with Jeffery Simecek, who has been the race director for the past five years.
