About

TedCorbitt 15K

Join us on Saturday, December 7 as we honor the life and legacy of Ted Corbitt (1919–2007). Corbitt was the first president of New York Road Runners, the first African American to compete in the Olympic marathon, and an ultramarathon pioneer who ran more than 170,000 miles in his lifetime. Beyond his running achievements, Corbitt’s legacy includes setting standards for course measurement and age-group competition. Learn more about the life and legacy of Ted Corbitt in our blog.

All finishers will receive a medal to commemorate their run and the legacy of Ted Corbitt.

The souvenir for this race will be a New Balance long-sleeve tri-blend T-shirt.
