United Airlines NYC Half

Maybe you have seen Brandon Fay at one of our races, helping to host or cater a Team for Kids event, or as you were fueling up on carbs with his larger-than-life personality bringing a smile to many. He has been a runner with NYRR for 10 years, running the #TCSNYCMarathon eight times as well as countless other races. Now we are spotlighting his business, Pasta By Hudson, in partnership with United. It is a fast-casual, quick-service Fresh Pasta and Pizza Bar, located in NY...C, named after his daughter. She is the inspiration behind his work. (Here he is pictured with his family at his daughter Hudson’s first NYRR race.) During the pandemic his restaurant Pasta by Hudson in Columbus Circle shut down with hopes that it will reopen sometime in the near future. However, rather than give up, he showed the resilience of so many New Yorkers in this time he cooked and donated to our healthcare heroes, the NYPD and the FDNY. In November 2020, he opened Pasta by Hudson in the Chelsea neighborhood. As he puts it, I know now more than ever, people need to smile and eat. Tag your favorite restaurant that brings you joy on race day. *Photos were taken prior to COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021 #UnitedNYCHalf is canceled due to health and safety concerns related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We made the decision in consultation with the Mayor’s Office of NYC. This year’s event, which had been scheduled for March 15, 2020, was canceled at the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak. Runners who had previously registered for the canceled 2020 United Airlines NYC Half and opted to defer entry to 2021 will have the option to choose a full refund for their 2020 e...ntry fee or defer entry to the 2022 event. Runners who earned entry to the 2021 race through an NYRR incentive program do not need to take any action; runners will receive an email informing them their entry will be deferred to 2022. We will be contacting all runners impacted by the 2021 cancellation directly. Runners from around the world will be invited to participate in the 2021 Virtual United Airlines NYC Half. Details will be announced soon. Follow our stories on New York Road Runners (NYRR) for updated FAQs or visit: https://bit.ly/2VvtvNw
