Abdi Nageeye made history on Sunday as the first Dutch runner ever to win the New York Marathon. The marathon is one of the six "majors" and is considered the pinnacle of the marathon calendar, with millions of fans lining the course each year. For Nageeye, a dream came true as he earned his second career podium finish in this prestigious marathon and crossed the finish line first in Central Park!
Nageeye's victory aligns perfectly with the message of the Go Chase It campaign, developed by Capital Sports and Global Sports Communication for NN Running Team. The campaign centers on pushing personal boundaries and serves as an inspiration for both athletes and fans. "Progress over perfection," is the core message used to motivate runners to set goals and support each other.
The goal of the Go Chase It campaign is to build a strong community in which fans and athletes feel connected through shared goals and challenges. By encouraging the sharing of personal running goals, the campaign creates a supportive environment where everyone motivates each other and celebrates shared successes. It also strengthens the bond with NN Running Team fans and inspires people worldwide to actively pursue their goals. Abdi's story of perseverance and determination -from his youth in Somalia to the top of the marathon world - stands as an inspiring example within this community.
