I was contacted by the Fresh Air Fund to pass on some information to ORB readers. If you are searching for another race this year, check this out. Registration is now closed for the NYC Half Marathon and this could be your opportunity to still gain entry AND run for a good cause.

The Fresh Air Fund is looking for runners and sponsors to join their Fresh Air Fund-Racers Team for the NYC Half-Marathon on August 16th. This is a great way to participate in NYC’s premier summer road race while helping Fresh Air Fund children.

Last summer’s NYC Half-Marathon was a huge success and the Fresh Air Fund-Racers raised more than $125,000. They are also still in need of Friendly Town Hosts for next month. Host families open their hearts and homes to a NYC child who would not otherwise have the opportunity to escape the hot, crowded city streets.

To register with the Fresh Air Fund-Racers Team, CLICK HERE. If you have additional questions or are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Kate at runners@freshair.org or call (800) 367-0003 ext. 8890.
