In a blitz of media coverage, Runner’s World and the NY Times describe long-time CPTC member George Hirsch’s recent NYC marathon after a five year retirement. And after running the Chicago Marathon last month.
We may know Hirsch’s name as the chairman of NY Road Runners. But he was also the founder of Runner, a magazine that later merged with Runner’s World, publisher of New York magazine, and with Fred Lebow one of the organizers of the first five borough NYC marathon.
