This week, Rob and Becs welcome two of the greatest marathoners of all time—Eliud Kipchoge and Sifan Hassan—less than two months before their 2025 TCS New York City Marathon debuts. Both reflect on their experience in Sydney and getting to know one another not only as runners but as friends. They can’t wait to run in New York City and feel the energy of the crowds as they run through the five boroughs.
Next week is the start of Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 through October 15. Here at New York Road Runners, we’ll be highlighting those who are an integral part of the community starting with one of our staff members, Pedro Concepcion, who is the event lead for the New Balance Bronx 10 Mile taking place this Sunday, September 14. We asked Pedro what it’s like leading one of NYRR’s most popular races as someone who was born and raised in the Bronx.
On September 14, thousands of runners will boogie down in the Bronx at the New Balance Bronx 10 Mile along with hundreds of youth runners at the free Boogie Down Kids Run. The Bronx community is actively involved in New York Road Runners' free and accessible programming, races, and events throughout the year. Find out about NYRR's history and impact in the Bronx.
Every year, thousands of runners of all ages and abilities line up in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and run 20 blocks down Fifth Avenue to finish at Grand Army Plaza for the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile. This year the 44th running took place on September 7 with more than 9,000 athletes across 30 heats, including the inaugural Broadway Mile, with nearly 70 Broadway performers and theater professionals supporting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Olympic bronze medalist Yared Nuguse became the first American man to win the men’s race since 2016 and Gracie Morris clocked the third-fastest time ever in the women's race history.

Live from the NYRR RUNCENTER featuring the New Balance Run Hub, hosts Rob and Becs were joined by Olympian Yared Nuguse, who’ll be facing a deep competitive field this Sunday as he makes his debut at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile.
On this week’s show, Rob and Becs talk with Jordan Fisher—best known for his roles in Broadway’s Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and Moulin Rouge!, as well as Dancing with the Stars —and his wife, Ellie Fisher, who graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in clinical dietetics. This fall, Jordan will line up for the inaugural Broadway Mile at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile while Ellie is training for her first marathon at the TCS New York City Marathon.
This year, I’m training for the TCS New York City Marathon with the help of NYRR x Runna and sharing all the great places I've found to refuel. From world class pastries in Long Island City to Chino Latino fare on the Upper West Side, there’s no city in the world that eats (and runs) like New York.
