Company Description
New York Road Runners was founded in 1958 when a small group of passionate runners vowed to bring running to the people. Over the past 56 years, NYRR has grown from a local running club to the world’s premier community running organization, whose mission is to help and inspire people through running. NYRR’s mission-focused approach centers on getting people of all ages and abilities to improve their health and well-being through the power of running and fitness—to Run for Life.
NYRR’s commitment to New York City’s five boroughs features races, community events, youth running initiatives, school programs, and training resources that provide hundreds of thousands of people each year, from children to seniors, with the motivation, know-how, and opportunity to Run for Life. More than 200,000 students are served locally and nationally through NYRR’s free youth running programs, events, and resources, including more than 120,000 in New York City’s five boroughs.
