The streets of the Bronx came alive on Sunday as more than 12,000 runners participated in the sold-out New Balance Bronx 10 Mile, a premier event organized by the New York Road Runners (NYRR). The race, which has become a staple in the borough since 2012, took runners on a scenic tour of the Bronx, showcasing its vibrant energy and deep connection to NYRR's history, which began at Macombs Dam Park in 1958.
Ryan Cutter, 24, of Brooklyn, emerged as the overall winner, crossing the finish line in 48 minutes and 57 seconds. 'Today was my first time running the Bronx 10 Mile, and I can easily say it's one of my favorite races I've competed in New York,' Cutter told the Bronx Times. 'Coming away with a win makes it even more memorable since they don't come easily. You can never take it for granted.'
Caswell said, 'The finish line felt good. It was a beautiful day out. I just enjoy NYRR races-they have inclusive divisions and overall, it's just a great experience.'
NYRR CEO Rob Simmelkjaer highlighted the importance of the event, noting the Bronx's significance to the running community. 'The Bronx is not only the birthplace of the New York Road Runners but also a vibrant borough that embraces the spirit of running and community involvement.'
