Healthy Living in Harlem


A new and healthy event is on the horizon in nearby Harlem. THe New York Road Runners have been working hard to encourage children and adults all over the city to become more active and are focusing a lot of their efforts in Harlem where they feel their help is needed the most. An event coming up 0n August 22nd is the culmination of a lot of hard work and will hopefully become an annual community event!

Help spread the word about “Healthy Eating & Living” in Upper Manhattan. New York Road Runners, in partnership with HARLEM WEEK and The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce’s Healthy Eating and Healthy Living Initiative, is pleased to offer several special opportunities to those in Upper Manhattan to get fitter and healthier this summer.
