Marathon Runner Spotlight: Kyle
Today’s Runner Spotlight is all about Kyle! A Knicks fan and avid runner, Kyle already had guaranteed entry to the 2021 TCS New York City Marathon, but still wanted to fundraise on behalf of a Charity Partner for the race. As someone who grew up with dogs, and has a dog of his own, PAWS NY was the perfect fit!

This will be my first Marathon but I have done multiple Half Marathons.
What is your connection to PAWS NY? Why is this cause important to you?
I wanted to support a charity while running the TCS New York City Marathon. I love animals, grew up with pets, and I love my dog, so PAWS NY was a great fit.
How long have you been running?
I have been running for the last 6-7 years.
What do you do in your free time (besides run)?
Beside running, I like to read, play video games, watch television, and take my dog for walks.
