You don't have to be fast. You don't have to go far. You just have to start! 👟

This , we're celebrating every runner: beginners, joggers, walkers, and everyone in between.

“Running is an efficient workout for both the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, while promoting mental health and well-being.” – NewYork-Presbyterian sports medicine specialist Dr. Morgan Busko.
