Larry Sillen, a passionate photographer and runner, has been an ambassador for the New York Road Runners since 1983. At 80 years old, he has completed numerous marathons, emphasizing the joy of community in running. His photography captures everyday runners, celebrating their participation rather than focusing solely on winners. Sillen's work has created a tradition of sharing moments from races, and he cherishes the memories he’s documented, connecting with others over their shared love for running. His recent induction into the NYRR Volunteer Hall of Fame underscores his commitment and impact on the running community.
When you see someone who may not finish first, but they have the same passion, it’s incredible. It transforms the way you see competition.
My photography isn't just about the winners. It's about every single person who shows up, runs the race, and finds joy in it.
