“Norb has been an invaluable catalyst to the success of our sport on not only a national and world-class level, but also right here in his own backyard—New York City,” said Mary Wittenberg, president and CEO of New York Road Runners. “His extraordinary vision to enrich the Washington Heights neighborhood with the transformation of New Balance Track & Field Center at The Armory into a world-renowned track and field facility has brought together the greatest athletes in the sport, while inspiring the children of our City to lead active, healthy lifestyles through running. It is only fitting that he be honored in front of our young runners, the future stars of a legacy he helped to establish.” nyrr.org/media-center/2014/2014-tcs-new-york-city-marathon/press-releases/dr-norbert-sander-to-receive-abebe-bikila-award-for-outstanding-contributions-to-distance-running
