NYRR celebra el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana
Throughout February, NYRR and our partners celebrate Black History Month by telling the stories of Black American runners and running organizations. New York Road Runners, the TCS New York City Marathon, and all of the other work we do would not exist were it not for the leadership and perseverance of Black runners, including our founding president, Ted Corbitt.
We kicked off the month by announcing the Corbitt Historian Fellowship, ceremonially named in honor of Ted Corbitt, our founding president and a pioneering figure in running. The fellowship will seek to Inspire careers in public service and ensure inclusive telling of running history.
Learn more about the Corbitt Historian Fellowship.
We’ll update this page throughout the month, so keep checking back. You can click on the links below to check out some of our previous stories.
