The Running Lifestyle

Our brand new video series, On the Run, tells you about people who love running—

from celebrities and pros you know to survivors and charity runners who have yet to

share their stories with the world.

Check it out now and come back each Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. to see the

latest episode. In our first webisode, you'll be surprised to find out that pro runner

Anderson, just 26-years-old, has survived two bouts with cancer, and it hasn't

her down!

Plus, don't miss our coverage of the Fifth Avenue Mile and training tips

from Olympians.

Run for Fun, Food, and Fitness

A favorite on our yearly calendar, Grete's Great Gallop is now in Support of the

AKTIV Foundation that was started by the great Grete Waitz. The event on

Sunday, October 14, includes 1.7-mile and 13.1-mile runs, along with a friendly

atmosphere.

There's still space for you to register with friends who are up for either distance

in Central Park.

Cross the Finish Line

You don't have to be ready for 26.2 to experience the ING New York City Marathon

finish line, and you can even preview it before the marathoners.

The NYRR Dash to the Finish Line 5K is 3.1 miles of fun for everyone. It starts at

:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 3, near the United Nations.

Register today to get your technical shirt and your chance to cross that world-famous

finish line.

A Chance for Kids to Compete

Get your kids running, jumping, and having fun at the free Fall Youth Jamboree on

Sunday, October 21. Pre-register today (and through October 12) with the PDF to

reserve a spot for youth in kindergarten through high school.

They'll get the opportunity to test out all kinds of events at the state-of-the-art New

Balance Track & Field Center at the Armory in Washington Heights.

This event lasts all day, with event times organized by grade.
