Hello NYRR runner!

Our friends at New Balance are looking for 18 fast runners to help test a new shoe. They’d like you to take part in this research if you ran the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile this past year, as your experience will prove valuable to better understand what runners want from their shoes.
