Add a Little Glamour to Race Week

Join NYRR at a Benefit for our Youth Running Programs

You’ve been a friend to New York Road Runners, so I hope you’ll save the date to join me at our inaugural Celebrate the Runners of the Future event on October 28 at the Museum of the City of New York.

On this special evening, we’ll gather in one of New York City’s most inspired venues to celebrate during a week like no other in New York—Marathon Week—to enjoy a unique menu of classic New York cuisine and to support New York Road Runner’s youth running programs.

These programs, now in their tenth year, serve more than 400 underserved schools and community centers in New York City, 47 states, and the Cape Town region of South Africa. Our programs have grown from serving 15 kids in 1998 to reaching nearly 100,000 children today, and we know that the lives of some of our nation’s most disadvantaged children are being transformed through participation in our programs.

By joining us on October 28, you can play a critical role and help us reach our ambitious goal of making running a part of every child’s school day.

Please visit this page to purchase tickets and join us for this very special evening.

Supporting running together,

Mary Wittenberg
