Historic win Abdi Nageeye in New York

Abdi Nageeye made history on Sunday by becoming the first Dutch runner ever to win the New York Marathon. This marathon is one of the six "majors" and is regarded as one of the most prestigious events on the marathon calendar. Each year, millions of supporters gather along the course to cheer for their favorites. For Nageeye, a dream has come true: he has secured a podium finish in this prominent marathon for the second time in his career and even finished first in the iconic Central Park!

Nageeye's triumph aligns with the core of the Go Chase It campaign, developed by Capital Sports and Global Sports Communication for NN Running Team. This campaign focuses on transcending personal boundaries and serves as a source of inspiration for both athletes and their supporters. "Progress over perfection," embodies the essence of this message, encouraging runners to set ambitious goals and support one another.

The goal of the Go Chase It campaign is to build a close-knit community in which both fans and athletes feel connected through their shared goals and challenges. By promoting the sharing of personal running goals, a supportive environment is created where everyone motivates each other and celebrates successes together. This campaign strengthens the relationship with NN Running Team fans and inspires people around the world to actively pursue their personal goals. Abdi's story of perseverance and determination, from his youth in Somalia to the top of the marathon world, is a powerful example within this community.
