New York Road Runners

We’re so excited to welcome Alexander Egan to the team! Alex joins us as Senior Vice President of Philanthropy. Alex brings over 20 years of experience in nonprofit management and fundraising, having held senior positions at the Randall’s Island Park Alliance, Sail To Prevail, and the Central Park Conservancy. His volunteer work includes serving as the Chair of the Board of Trustees at the USA Triathlon Foundation and the President of the Central Park Track Club. Welcome to NYRR, Alex!

We’re halfway through the 2024 session of #NYRRRunfortheFuture, a free six-week program that introduces 11th and 12th grade high school young women to the sport of running. Coming in, our participants did not necessarily self-identify as runners or actively take part in sports. But by working with our NYRR program team and coaching staff, they learn running techniques and goal setting to develop the ability, confidence, and motivation to be active for life. Participants also receive lessons in self-care and wellness that introduce a holistic approach to achieving their fitness goals. They learn about topics like nutrition, mental wellness, body image, and self-awareness, and they develop an understanding of the connection between physical activity and self-care. We require participants to maintain an 80% attendance rate and complete their first 5K (3.1-mile) race at the end of the six weeks. Along the way, they receive New Balance running gear and sneakers, healthy snacks, MetroCards, and fitness kits to help with their training. Please join us in congratulating our participants as they enter the second half of the program 💙! Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3OCyPef
