Thousands of participants are expected to “Run for Haiti” in Central Park on Feb. 20.
The fundraising event to benefit victims in the earthquake-ravaged country is being co-hosted by the New York Road Runners, the Mayor’s Office and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

Children will also be able to run in their own race, and Haitian-themed entertainers and vendors will donate their services to the event. Continue reading
