Run for Haiti - Race and Walk Gallery

The New York running community embraced the Run for Haiti with unbridled enthusiasm. In just 18 days of open registration for the event, nearly 10,500 runners and walkers signed up, including some 400 who registered on race day. “There is only one way to begin this race, and that is by saying ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you,’” said NYRR president and CEO Mary Wittenberg, speaking at the start. “People said we were crazy to try to put this race together so quickly, and we said, ‘You don’t know runners.’ With our partners at Parks, we found an open date, and we all worked together to make it happen.”
 
Winners John Henwood and Catha Mullen, both of Manhattan, led more than 9,400 runners and walkers across the finish line. Along the way, participants were entertained by the Brooklyn Jumbies (on stilts!) and cheered by hundreds of New Yorkers and visitors enjoying a sparkling midwinter day in the park.
