We are thrilled to become the first major marathon in the industry to launch an entry method tied to sustainability efforts, providing runners the opportunity to run and fundraise for NYRR Team for Climate to showcase their commitment to protecting our environment.
New York Road Runners (NYRR) is a nonprofit with the aim of building healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power of running, which includes doing our part to ensure future generations have access to clean air, green spaces, and a healthy world in which to run.
At NYRR, we aim to embed sustainability into everything we do, from hosting events to maintaining our facilities and giving back to the community. NYRR is committed to minimizing our impact across all sustainability areas throughout the organization. Throughout the year, we work with our vendors and city agency partners to be eco-friendly and divert waste, aiming to leave New York City’s streets and parks cleaner than we found them.
New York Road Runners has carried out our sustainability initiatives for nearly a decade, and in 2021 set a goal of achieving Net Zero by 2040. Our goals and targets are centered around supporting the diverse communities we serve, focusing on emissions, circularity, water, and transparency.
New York Road Runners is partnering with Anew Climate, a global climate solutions leader, to use funds raised to purchase carbon credits for two improved forest management projects.
