During this week there will be events each day in either New York City, all of the boroughs, Boston and Ocean Grove, NJ Industry experts and community leaders will gather to talk about how runners can face the road or trail with confidence

Jim Vittor:
I am 59 years old, and I found running in my 50’s. I am mostly a 5K runner. I am slow and steady. I'm generally at the back of the pack, but I now can run a full 5K without stopping.
I have been as low as 34:00 minutes, but now I’m more of a late 30’s steady jogger. I run for health, for fresh air, and to challenge myself as I approach 60 years old and beyond.
I am a CFO for a mid-sized Insulation Contractor in NJ. A graduate of Rutgers University. I have coached youth soccer for the past 20+ years in my town.
I am married. I have four children. My best friend, with whom I run, and I have a goal to run at least one race per month in 2020. Also, I would like to lower my mile time to 11:00 minutes
