NYRR Ted Corbitt 15K

Join us on Saturday, December 6 at the 17th annual NYRR Ted Corbitt 15K as we honor the life and legacy of Ted Corbitt (1919–2007). Corbitt was the first president of New York Road Runners, the first African American to compete in the Olympic marathon, and an ultramarathon pioneer who ran more than 170,000 miles in his lifetime. Corbitt’s legacy goes beyond his own personal running achievements and includes setting standards for course measurement and age-group competition. Learn more about Ted Corbitt’s life and impact on our blog. Finishers will receive a commemorative medal in his honor, and all participants will receive a New Balance long-sleeve tri-blend T-shirt.
