What is New York Distance?

The track is where the glamour is at. Or so you think.

New York Distance is a new organization, dedicated to advancing runners in the Empire State, for those whose running jaunts last longer than a few seconds.

Whether you're a miler, a cross country warrior or a marathoner, this blog and coming events are your place to seek solace with fellow runners and focus on the accomplishments of athletes from Plattsburgh to Poughkeepsie, from Mendon to Montauk.

We're bringing sexy back to endurance running. And we're rooting for our New York athletes to do just that--and even more, to succeed both on and off the track/trail/road.

Keep checking back as we highlight programs and runners across the state--both champion-caliber and small, gritty schools; promote running as a lifestyle for New Yorkers both young and old; interview legends and up-and-comers in the distance running scene statewide; promote races and charity events to participate in year-round.

It doesn't matter if you're serious or a spectator--New York Distance has a place for you!
