Today is National Women & Girls in Sports Day 🎊, which “honors the achievements of women athletes, coaches and leaders, and the power of sports to unlock their limitless potential,” according to the Women’s Sports Foundation.
Â
To celebrate, we’re spotlighting some of the incredible women and girls who make NYRR’s programs and races so special. 🙌 First up, shoutout to all the participants and alumnae of Run for the Future, our free program that introduces young women in high school to running.Â
Â
We’re also proud to present two annual women-only races: The
#MaybellineWomensHalf and the
#MastercardMini10K.
Â
We also have to highlight our staff—two-thirds of our Executive Leadership Team are women and we’re proudly led by the Chair of NYRR’s Board of Directors, Nnenna Lynch.
Â
And finally, we salute 🫡 the thousands of women—including elite and professional runners—who participate in our races each year.Â
