Episode 8:Gary Corbitt, a son keeping Ted Corbitt's running legacy alive.
As the proud son of Ted Corbitt and a running history expert, Gary Corbitt has spent countless hours documenting the legacy of African-American runners. His Black Running History Timeline project spans from 1880-1979, a work that highlights the resiliency, courage and desire to excel during one of the darkest moments of American history. In 2019, Gary was inducted into the National Black Marathoners Association, for his contribution to the sport through his work. Gary shared the mission for the Ted Corbitt Archives, his relationship with New York Road Runners (a club co-founded by his father), the demands for change within the running industry, NYRR, and why the Black Lives Matter movement will improve the sport.
