Help us reach our goal of growing the sport of road running by building and disseminating inspirational running history stories to all age groups. Our groundbreaking research and oral history projects are focused on these five areas:
*Ted Corbitt
*New York Pioneer Club History
*Early Women Running Pioneers
*Black Running History
*Running History before 1976
We’re a new foundation having started in 2024. Long term we wish to develop programs and services that reflect the life to Ted Corbitt (1919-2007) a selfless American pioneer who lived in a scholarly manner always working to better the sport and advocating a life of health, fitness and continuing education. He would answer all his mail, including people he didn’t know seeking his advice. He often used his innovative conventional and holistic skills as a Master Physical Therapist treating athletes at no cost.
Ted Corbitt truly followed the adage “it is better to give than to receive.”
Your tax-deductible contribution will help us reach these goals.
