“Running has given me the best friends and made me truly feel part of a community, both here in NYC and beyond.” 🫶
Meet Madeleine Marshall👋 an NYRR member who first got involved with nyrr in 2019 through the 9+1 program for guaranteed entry into the
#TCSNYCMarathon after a friend of hers encouraged her to run the NYRR
#WashHeights5K.
“The NYC Marathon had always been top of my bucket list, as my dad ran the race twice in the ‘90s and always spoke fondly about his memories.”🗽
After running the 5K, she signed up for the remainder of the races that year to complete her 9+1. She’s now in her fourth year of doing the program.
“My dad was the first person to encourage me to run a marathon and he had confidence in me from the start. He was talking about me hitting a Boston Qualifying time before I even knew what that meant.”
The two aren’t the only ones in the family who run. Madeleine’s sister ran the 2023
#TCSNYCMarathon with her as well as this year’s
