God's Love: Race to Deliver

God's Love teams up with New York Road Runners every fall and puts on the Race to Deliver. It is a 4 mile race in Central Park to raise funds for Gods Love. The race is huge with like 6000 participants.


This years race was on Sunday and I had the pleasure of shooting it.


It starts with the kids race. Kids from age 3-12 compete in different heats. The kids are super cute and the older ones get so competitive.


Usually Joan Rivers and Blaine Trump are there, but this year they were out of town. Board member Star Jones was there cheering the runners on.


Wave to Star everybody.


Also cheering the runners on was CHEER NEW YORK. They are NY's non-profit LGBTS volunteer cheer organization. They cheer for charity. They came out in force on sunday and cheered their hearts out.

The race participants are dedicated runners from Road Runners,

volunteers from God's Love, here are members of the Thursday night shift,

and corporate groups.

The Dunkin' Donuts team, now I want a Boston Cream

Here we have the female winner crossing the finish line.


People are always excited to cross the line.


At the end of the race there is an awards ceremony where prizes are given out the the top three male and female finishers.


I would like to thank the sponsors that make the event possible:
