Join NYRR's Run For the Future!

New York Road Runners (NYRR) is excited to introduce Run For The Future – a free program that empowers young women rising into 10th through 12th grade.  The program features running as a tool to build personal development and physical fitness. Participants do not need to identify as a runner or athlete – just be willing to take the first step!

With support from NYRR’s program team and coaching staff, participants are taught running techniques and life skills that develop the ability, confidence, and motivation to be self-confident and active for life.  Run for the Future lessons in self-care and wellness introduce a holistic approach to setting and achieving vital short and long term goals.

Free Benefits Include: 

  • New Balance running gear and sneakers
  • Omni card to travel to and from practice
  • Healthy snacks and a fitness kit to support their training to run their very first 5K (3.1-mile) race!

At the conclusion of the program, participants join a network of alumnae, with opportunities to participate in our year-long program. This program includes:

Networking opportunities- connect with like-minded individuals and industry leaders through exclusive events designed to expand your network.

Training Series – Participate in coach led training series designed to enhance your running skills.

Community Building – join a vibrant community of young women who are committed to personal development, wellness, collaboration and success.
