Thousands of runners race in Central Park to fight against hunger

Runners hit the pavement in Central Park this morning to take a stand against hunger. 

The New York Road Runners says over 5,000 people took part in the 29th annual Race to Deliver. 

The 4-mile run/walk raises awareness and money for the organization God’s Love We Deliver. 

The group provides pre-made, healthy meals to New York City residents who can’t shop or cook on their own. 

Runners donated on their own or garnered the support of sponsors. 

There was also a race for children under 11 years old to take part in.
