When you donate to NYRR, you give the gift of running. Our Youth & Community Services programs bring fitness to people in underserved communities throughout the five boroughs, in all 50 states, and around the world.
 
We bring free running programs and wellness events to schools, neighborhoods, and communities—fostering physical fitness, character development, and personal achievement in people of all ages and abilities. Parents credit our programs with helping their children become more confident and capable. Coaches praise us for promoting teamwork and healthy competition, and educators love the way fitness helps their students perform better in school. Communities value our commitment to fighting childhood obesity and promoting lifelong health.
 
And our runners? They love the way running makes them feel, from the camaraderie of shared miles to the joy of crossing a finish line.
