About the event
Event Overview
On Saturday, August 23, 2025, at 7:30 AM, NYRR members gather in Central Park for a tribute that blends heritage, heart, and athletic excellence: the Grete’s Great Gallop 10K. This race honors the legendary Grete Waitz, a nine-time NYC Marathon champion and foundational figure in the evolution of women’s distance running.
As part of NYRR Member Week, this exclusive 10K takes runners on the very path where Grete set road racing world records and captured five New York Mini 10K titles. Today, it’s more than a course—it’s a living monument to one of the sport’s most transformative athletes.
