I am a local club coach and just cannot just sit back and watch my runners not have the chance to run a marathon this Sunday. They trained so hard for 4 months, sacrificing so much to be able to line up for the race. I am not a political person and was only mildly impacted by the hurricane (lost power and water for 4 days). Personal opinions aside, I'm a runner and have been coaching people to run.
I decided to organize a marathon run on Sunday morning at Central Park and will provide water, Gatorade, gels, bars, fruit and bagels. I'm working on getting pizza for the finishers as well. This is a no BS run, that's what I love about running, just show up with your sneakers and some heart and you'll get your marathon. I just want to make it happen for those who are looking to get out there and show off their hard work. Also, so many travelled here from far away for nothing... Make it worth it and come out. I will need to know approximately how many are interested so I can get enough food for everyone. Contact me at
if you're interested.
