Community Service

New York Road Runners Foundation

The New York Road Runners Foundation was founded in 1998 to carry out the community service mission of New York Road Runners. The NYRR Foundation’s goal is to promote health, well-being, and personal achievement among underserved populations with little or no access to athletic programming. As physical education was virtually eliminated from New York City’s public schools a quarter century ago and our city is gripped by a childhood obesity epidemic, the foundation focuses on serving local youth of every fitness level and ability.  To learn more about the NYRR Foundation, please visit www.nyrrfoundation.org.
