Celebrate the legacy of Grete Waitz with a run through Central Park. Race for a new 10K PR over the same ground where she won her five NYRR New York Mini 10K titles—setting road world records in 1979 and 1980 — and where she ran the final miles of her nine New York City Marathon victories. This year the NYRR Grete’s Great Gallop 10K will take place in August.
In 2007, Grete co-founded AKTIV Against Cancer (AKTIV) with Executive Director Helle Aanesen. The foundation works to ensure that physical activity will become an integral part of cancer treatment. To support this mission, AKTIV has pledged $3.3 million to fund leading exercise oncology research under the direction of Dr. Lee Jones at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
We invite you to celebrate Grete’s legacy, and her vision of fighting cancer with exercise.
