June 23 marks the 52nd anniversary of the passage of Title IX. At the 2024 #MastercardMini10K, we chatted with 26-time finisher Ulrike Klopfer about the progression of this race from when it first began in 1972 to what it is now in 2024. As we commemorate the anniversary of Title IX, let’s celebrate how far we’ve come while acknowledging that we’re not done yet.💙💪

Today, we celebrate and honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the historical event of 1865 in Galveston, Texas which declared the ending of slavery in the US, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued to abolish slavery. Wherever you are, we hope you’ll connect with local organizations, as well as running and cultural groups, to find meaningful and inspiring ways to honor this day.

We can’t do what we do without our partners. 🤝 The latest episode of NYRR Set the Pace presented by Peloton Interactive is a special live recording from our Partner Forum, our yearly event where we invite all partners to New York to learn about our future organizational plans, goals, and insight into the year’s #TCSNYCMarathon. The conversation features representatives from three of NYRR’s key partners: Mastercard, New Balance, and Citizens. Rob Simmelkjaer sits down with Anne Valentzas, Senior Vice President, Consumer Marketing and Sponsorships for Mastercard, Tom Carleo, Vice President Running, North America, New Balance, and Denise Wolffs, Senior Vice President, Director of Sponsorships, Experiential Marketing & Internal Events for Citizens to learn what makes them so passionate about working with us, supporting the running community, and helping us bring to life the TCS New York City Marathon.
