#TeamHFNY Was Lightning Fast at the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon

November 30, 2023

For a third year, our 11 Team HFNY runners crossed the finish line at the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon on Sunday, November 5!

This year's Team was lightning fast—many completed 26.2 miles in under 3 hours! Our runners were so fast that our Cheer Squad, which usually meets on the Upper East Side, weren't able to capture all of them camera.

We want to recognize the incredible energy, stamina, and perseverance that every runner had this year. We couldn't be prouder of their accomplishment and their support of HFNY! Together, our runners have also collectively raised over $81,000 (and counting)—an astounding amount to continue our work and the work of our affiliates!

We also hosted a celebratory, carb-loaded breakfast at the HFNY office the day before the Marathon. Some of our runners were from out of town, so this was the first time everyone met in person to swap stories and share running advice.

Here is a special shout out to each runner:

Will for being the first to finish at 3 hours and 22 minutes and repping Redeemer Lincoln Square
Myungin for being the second-fastest runner at 3 hours and 40 minutes and repping Exilic
Amber for her enthusiasm in sharing weekly Instagram Stories about her training and repping Renaissance
Alex for being a long-time supporter from Redeemer Downtown who celebrated a birthday milestone by running the race
Sam and Kathryn for being our dynamic duo and second running couple who repped Redeemer East Side
Michelle for being the first runner to sign up to run and for traveling from out of state
Monica for running alongside her sister, Michelle, and for also traveling from out of state
Eun Hae for being a strong supporter and also repping Redeemer Lincoln Square
Lanna for being a consistent supporter and also traveling from out of state
Paul for joining our Team alongside friend Amber and supporting HFNY
