NYRR Celebrates Global Volunteer Month

April is Global Volunteer Month, a time to celebrate volunteers as well as inspire volunteerism around the world. Volunteers are the heartbeat of strong communities, and we’ll be spreading love to our NYRR volunteers all month long.

We’ll update this page throughout the month to share inspiring stories of the many different types of volunteers that keep NYRR running and share ways that you can get involved!

Thank You, Volunteers!

There are many ways to get involved with our volunteer program such as being an  Open Run volunteer, a  medical volunteer, and a  Volunteer Leader. Please click on the Get Involved button below to let us know which opportunities you are interested in!

If you see a volunteer, thank a volunteer. From race day to Open Run and community programs across the five boroughs, NYRR volunteers show up with energy, care, and dedication—now it’s our turn to show up for them. Leave a message, share a photo, or recognize someone who made your experience special. Every note helps celebrate the people behind every step.
