Last Sunday, NYU track and field and cross country athletes launched a new chapter of Run Your City in Greenwich Village. The six-week program, hosted next to the Williamsburg Bridge in East River Park, brings free running sessions and community building to kids in Lower Manhattan. For the first day, around 30 kids showed up to the event coached by eight NYU athletes. “As NCAA teams, we have a responsibility to be volunteering and impacting our community positively,” co-president and CAS senior Cindy Leonard said. “I think that we hadn’t been doing that consistently, and Run Your City seemed like a great opportunity for us to give back.”
