Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge
Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge
We’re looking for your inspiring running story! This year’s theme is Overcoming Challenges.
If you live in the five boroughs of New York City and you’re an entrant in the ING New York City Marathon 2011, we invite you to apply to be a part of the 2011 Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge, a race within the ING New York City Marathon. This year, the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge Team will include five people—one from each borough of New York City—who have drawn inspiration from running in order to face a significant challenge in their life.
This is your chance to take your 2011 Marathon experience to a higher level and show your pride for your borough. The Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge team will be treated as VIPs and will be featured on the NBC4 New York live television broadcast on race day. The runner who finishes with the fastest time will become the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge Champion, and will win a Tiffany & Co. trophy and citywide bragging rights.
To qualify for the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge you must:
- Be an accepted entrant in the ING New York City Marathon 2011
- Currently reside in one of the five New York City boroughs: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island
- Be able to complete the Marathon in 3:30 to 4:00
Responsibilities of Challenge Team members include:
- Must commit to running the first 13.1 miles of the marathon with the Challenge Team (after that, you’re free to run alone or stay with the group).
- Must be available at select times during marathon week to participate in a pre-marathon media event.
Application is due on or before July 11, 2011.
