👋 Hey hey! So excited to be here.
- Name: Taylor Zansberg
- City: I live in Inwood (which is the northern most part of Manhattan). I moved to NYC a little over a year ago after living in Durham, NC for 7 years. I was really immersed in the running community there and even worked at a running store p/t during the pandemic.
- Favorite place to run:Â Always outside- I love exploring new territory on pavement, trails, and beyond. Fav spots would be Inwood Hill Park, Duke Forest Trails (in NC), and over bridges.
- Upcoming Races:Â None atm, but I did sign up for United Half Marathon so we shall see how that turns out because it's a lottery.
- Previous Races:Â Just completed my first-ever marathon- the TCS NYC Marathon babaayy!!! It was brutal. I trained hard, but that heat was a challenging element for sure.
- Funny running memory / story:Â Not sure if this is more funny or sad, but when I started running in middle school I tried to do XC and cheerleading at the same time. The XC coach told me to stick with cheerleading and that I had a lot of heart, but not a lot of talent... Ouch! So I quit cheerleading and poured myself into running and have not looked back since.

- Anything else you'd like to share: Living, working, and running in NYC has been a longtime dream of mine and I am so happy and excited to be here. Can't wait to meet all of you!
