Description

In keeping with the tradition of honoring the life and legacy of the father of American long-distance running, Theodore 'Ted' Corbitt, Black Men Run NYC/The NYC Way will continue to honor Ted Corbitt's birthday with our yearly 50K Tribute Run.

 

Price includes medals, shirt, and participation option. TC50K medals and shirts will be received after ALL finishers in person and virtual have submitted/uploaded their completion of the 50K and shipped within 2-3 weeks. 

 

To recap: To mark the birth anniversary of Ted Corbitt (Friday, Jan 31), we embarked on an ultra-marathon to 'Ted Corbitt Way' in the Bronx - the 50K being the most appropriate distance since this was known to be a regular training run for him during his lifetime. As we move into 2025, We will continue the annual tradition on Sunday January 26, 2025

 

Start times

It's BMR's ongoing tradition to aid in the preservation of the legacy of another Black man, especially in run history. We hope that you will join in.
