Celebrate and honor the legacy of Grete Waitz with a run through Central Park on Saturday, August 27. Race on the same course where Grete won her five NYRR New York Mini 10K titles—setting road race world records in 1979 and 1980—and where she ran the final miles of her record nine New York City Marathon victories. Grete later became the founding chair of the NYRR Foundation, which has evolved into Rising New York Road Runners.
