Team for Kids Helping Build Youth’s Motivation to be Physically Active
On the 15th of March 2020, the Team for Kids (TFK) runners will take part in the 2020 United Airlines NYC Half as part of their ongoing support towards the rising New York Runners (NYRR). The NYRR is a platform that is geared towards raising funds to build the confidence, motivation and desire of students to be physically active, by providing free running and fitness programs. The United Airlines NYC Half will take place in New York City as from 7:20 AM and is open to both men and women. The journey will begin on Prospect Park’s Center Drive then to the streets of Brooklyn, through Times Square and eventually end at the Central park. Taking part in the marathon with TFK is still open. Certificates for the race will be awarded to everyone, and an award to the top three women and men.
Meb Keflezighi, TFK ambassador and special advisor, had this to say, “I’m first-hand proof of the benefits of running and feel very connected to Team for Kids mission. I want children everywhere to have the opportunity to succeed and achieve their dreams through the benefits of running.”
