La Semana de Miembros inaugural comienza el 12 de agosto con eventos divertidos y mucho más
NYRR’s first-ever Member Week will take place from August 12 to August 17. The week-long celebration will include fun activities, exclusive offers, special prizes, and giveaways, all leading up to the member-only NYRR Grete’s Great Gallop 10K race and post-race festivities. Member Week is a way of recognizing our NYRR member community and how we can build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power of running.
Grete’s Great Contributions to the Running Community
This year’s member-only race, NYRR Grete's Great Gallop 10K, honors the life and legacy of Grete Waitz who rose to legendary status in distance running when women weren't allowed to compete internationally at distances longer than 1,500 meters. She won the New York City Marathon nine times and the New York Mini 10K five times. After retiring from competitive running, she devoted herself to youth and adult fitness and to the fight against cancer—the disease that tragically ended her life in 2011, at age 57. Grete later became the founding chair of the NYRR Foundation. Read more about Grete’s legacy here.
