The challenge was to get 28 people to New York City before the marathon. But the cause is greater than wracking up miles. ❤️ nycmarathon
At the base of Toronto’s CN Tower on Tuesday, October 29, the city’s running community threw a party for 28 people about to start an epic journey. After showering the crew with confetti and cheers, two teams piled into two RVs, setting off for a relay covering a distance of more than 500 miles from Toronto to New York City.
Jennifer Pagan, far left, ran a cumulative 47 miles. “The way we came together to see this journey through to the end was an incredible thing. Bringing people together from different cities, backgrounds, and experiences can bring challenges in any situation or environment. To test that further through three days of endurance running, little sleep or recovery, living in tight shared spaces , is something most would not willingly sign up for, let alone keep their humor through.
As captains and cofounders of E2NY, Jacobs and Abley planned to run the marathon at the end of the trip. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen for either of them. Jacobs broke his leg and tore his Achilles in 2019. “I’d been trying to get into the marathon for eight years,” Jacobs said. When he was told by a doctor he could not run, the timing could not have been worse. He felt he was letting everyone down.
