Introducing Team Long Run
May 17, 2023 by Let Me Run National
We are so excited to introduce you to the newest members of Team Long Run, a group of five runners who will be tackling one of the greatest marathons in the world - the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon - while raising funds for Let Me Run. We already know they are fast, because registration for our team filled in record time and they all made the team! Now, we look to support them as they train and prepare for 26.2 miles in November.
Let’s meet the team!
