About the event
Event Overview
On Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 8:00 AM, runners will gather in Central Park to honor the life and legacy of Ted Corbitt, one of the most important figures in American running history. The 17th annual NYRR Ted Corbitt 15K is more than a race—it’s a tribute to a man who paved the way for countless athletes through vision, endurance, and pioneering leadership.
Corbitt, the first African American to compete in the Olympic marathon, and founding president of New York Road Runners, helped set the standards for race course measurement and championed age-group competition long before it was popular. His contributions live on in every mile we measure, every medal awarded, and every runner who dares to push further.
