UPDATE: Due to road conditions resulting from inclement weather, the NYRR Ted Corbitt 15K has been designated a fun run. The run will start, as scheduled, at 8:30 a.m., but will not be scored. All registered entrants will receive credit for one of the nine races that are part of the eligibility requirements for guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon 2009. Please note that the course will still feature mile markers and timing clocks.
NYRR has renamed the NYRR Hot Chocolate 15K in honor of our founding president Ted Corbitt. The NYRR Ted Corbitt 15K, which occurs on Saturday, December 20, will now replace the former race. Please make note of the new name in making your race plans for December.
