Runners will make good on their New Year’s running resolution by taking part in the Joe Kleinerman 10K! Kleinerman, a founding member of NYRR, the longtime coach of the Millrose Athletic Association, and a beloved NYRR employee until his death in 2003 at age 91, was a true competitor. The race pays tribute to Kleinerman and also benefits a scholarship fund in his name for scholastic runners; $1 of the registration fee goes directly to the fund, and additional donations can be made during registration. |
