In partnership with Yes Theory, this global virtual running experience invites the community to seek discomfort and pursue personal growth by training for and completing a 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon on the same day as the 2025 NYC Marathon—Sunday, November 2, 2025. Whether you’re a first-time runner, chasing a PR, or simply looking for a new challenge, join Ammar and the global Yes Theory audience in this synchronised fitness mission. Each distance will include a training block in the lead-up to race day, inspired by the success of last year’s On The Run (OTR) event with Anna Archer. The race is virtual and self-recorded, so you can complete it from anywhere—no matter your timezone, terrain, or pace. This is your chance to run in solidarity with Ammar as he takes on the streets of New York, while you conquer your own race wherever you are in the world.
