Street closures in Brooklyn and Manhattan for the Half Marathon<\/a><\/p>\n“There’s not a single part of the race where I don’t have a memory associated to it,” Cahe said.<\/p>\n
But now Cahe’s running for something more than just the finish line.<\/p>\n
“And so when I did my research for Team for Climate and I thought about why, the life station project, and protecting wildlife and rivers and things like that,” Cahe said. “That was really important to me, both in New York City and Maine, and then also just providing greener options on race day, I felt that was super important.”<\/p>\n
The New York Road Runners Team for Climate is a group dedicated to a healthier planet for future runners.<\/p>\n
“And so joining Team for Climate was a very natural choice because I have this long history of doing sustainability, from when I was younger, but also in my everyday practice,” Cahe said. “As someone who’s also a New York resident, native New Yorker, I want to make sure that I’m doing my part running this race to just make sure that it is sustainable because it is a big shutdown and it’s a big disruption if you’re not a part of that community.”<\/p>\n
Cahe is also making history on Team for Climate as their first nonbinary athlete.<\/p>\n
“That’s actually very exciting for me, I’m the kind of person who every time I run the race, and I really appreciate the New York Road Runners for this, because every time I sign up, they have that option,” Cahe said.<\/p>\n
They are advocating for their community and the planet, strong and steady.<\/p>\n
“I’m definitely a middle of the road runner, I am getting there, hopefully one day maybe I’ll get in the top ten, but no, I’m just excited to represent for the average trans, nonbinary runner,” Cahe said. “Just doing my thing in New York City.”<\/p>\n
