New York, July 29, 2025 – New York Road Runners (NYRR), the nonprofit that “runs” New York City producing 60 annual adult and youth races including the TCS New York City Marathon, and iHeartMedia New York today announced a multi-year expansion of their official radio broadcast partnership that will deepen their collaboration and bring even more race-day energy and storytelling to listeners across the city and beyond. The new three-year agreement is part of New York Road Runners’ newly launched content studio, East 89th St Productions, and aims to bring the transformative stories of the running community to iHeartMedia’s millions of listeners across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms.

As part of the expanded partnership, iHeartMedia will continue to serve as the exclusive radio home of the TCS New York City Marathon through 2027, following its debut as the marathon’s first-ever official broadcast radio partner in 2024. In the new deal, iHeartMedia will also air the NYRR Set the Pace Presented by Peloton podcast, which recently expanded to video, on Sundays year-round, and, for the first time, provide live radio coverage of New York Road Runners’ New Balance 5th Avenue Mile—all on iHeartRadio New York’s 710 WOR, The Voice of New York. In addition, New York Road Runners events and programs will be promoted throughout the year across iHeartMedia’s radio, streaming, and digital platforms.

“There are countless incredible stories to tell from our race start-lines and across the running community, from the aspirational professional runners to our inspirational back-of-the-pack final finishers,” says Rob Simmelkjaer, CEO, New York Road Runners. “We’re excited to expand our collaboration with iHeartMedia to share more of these stories that highlight the transformative power of running and get even more people into this inclusive sport.”

“iHeartMedia is proud to partner with New York Road Runners in celebrating the power of movement, community, and the iconic spirit of New York City,” says Steve DeLusant, Market President, iHeartMedia New York. “As the official audio and radio partner of the TCS New York City Marathon through 2027, 710 WOR has the unique privilege of bringing the energy and emotion of race day to listeners across the city and beyond.
