13.1 motivos para correr la United Airlines NYC Half 2022
The United Airlines NYC Half is back for 2022!
The 2020 in-person race was canceled at the start of the pandemic, which also kept it off the NYRR calendar in 2021. Now, runners have the opportunity to claim their guaranteed entry or apply to run on Sunday, March 20, 2022.
This race is special in so many ways, from its iconic course to the all-star field of pro runners. It's truly the One to Run.
