About
2020 has been an incredibly tough year, but despite the challenges, this month offers us the opportunity to be thankful.
Throughout November, we're doing something different to express the gratitude we feel at this time of year, and that we've brought together some folks from across the NYRR team to explain:
Join us in running or walking the Virtual NYRR Run for Thanks 5K between November 21 and 29 and draw on gratitude to connect, learn, and grow together. We encourage you to dedicate your 5K to whoever or whatever you are thankful for this year.
We at NYRR feel gratitude for many things—our diverse runners, staff, and volunteers, and the inspiring Rising New York Road Runners, just to name a few—and will be running for them in November.
What is your reason to run? Share with us using #ReasonToRun and make sure to tag that special person or group to show your appreciation.
You can also sign up for the Virtual NYRR Run for Thanks 5K and work toward completing your 2020 NYRR Year-End 5K PR Series. Finish the year strong with three virtual 5K races and you'll be rewarded with some hardware.
At this time, all runners should protect their health and safety and that of others by social distancing while running. Please stay up-to-date on the latest news and guidelines from the CDC, WHO, and your local and national authorities. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at help@nyrr.org.
