Celebrating Black History Month This February on Set the Pace
On Set the Pace Presented by Peloton, the official podcast of New York Road Runners, our guests in February will share their stories in celebration of Black History Month. Tune in all month long for this exciting and inspiring content.
Bringing Justice and Positive Change to Communities Through Running
Running can be a powerful way to bring people together and advocate for change and justice. As NYRR celebrates Black History Month, we spotlight two runners working for justice and positive change in their communities.
"I Had an Inner Drive": Ted Corbitt, Effort, and Community
Ted Corbitt, born on January 31, 1919, was the first Black American runner to compete in the Olympic marathon and the first president of NYRR. He completed 223 marathons and ultramarathons—winning 30 of them—and ran more than 170,000 lifetime miles. He was also a physical therapist, the inventor of road race course measurement, and a champion of inclusivity.
Celebrating Black History Month
February is Black History Month, an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. At NYRR, we recognize the leadership, achievements, and perseverance of Black runners and supporters of running—throughout history and today, in New York City and beyond.
Should I Run Today?
Sometimes there are good reasons to skip a planned run—weather and other safety issues are valid concerns. Other times, you might want to run (or give it a shot) despite some misgivings. Check out our guidelines on our blog.
