New York Road Runners Club News – NYRR 4-Mile Run – What Works for Kids – Marathon Update – Supporting Running Endeavors

NYRR 4-Mile Run – Leave your winter blues behind when you run with us in Central Park on April 23.

This 4-Mile run and Earth Day celebration couldn't be in a better location, and we're crossing our fingers for warm spring weather. Register before it sells out and get a reusable water bottle, courtesy of The Nature Conservancy, on race day.

What Works for Kids

There are many theories about what helps kids concentrate. A recent Gallup poll supports our belief that kids' mental and physical health and development are intertwined.

Our experience, with our national Mighty Milers and NYC-based Young Runners programs, shows that kids respond positively to physical exercise in their life. Check out recent kid-related news on our Youth and Community Services site.

Marathon Update

We can't give away all our secrets, but we can tell you that Marathon Opening Day is Wednesday, April 27. There will be something for everyone, so tune in at 12:00 noon EDT to watch the live show. We'll be making ING New York City Marathon 2011 announcements you don't want to miss.

Supporting Running Endeavors

Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes is doing it again! This time, he's making his way, by foot, from California to the LIVE! with Regis and Kelly studios in New York City. He began his journey on February 25, and you can join him for a 5K fun run near you to support Action for Healthy Kids, a volunteer network fighting childhood obesity and undernourishment. NYRR is cheering Dean to his NYC finish line!
