Who is NN Running Team

The brainchild of Global Sports Communication director Jos Hermens, the formation of the NN Running Team, has proven to be one of the most innovative and ground-breaking developments in athletics. Launched in April 2017, the project has delivered on its goals to provide the athletes with access to better coaching, medical care and additional athlete support services with particular progress made in offering regular physiotherapy to athletes in training camps and during competition. That extra support has been reflected in the results enjoyed by the athletes in the NN Running Team. Since its inception its athletes have claimed no less than 13 Marathon Majors victories, set eight world records, snared world titles on the road, track and cross country and globally won over 175 road races.

An exciting group of young women has also developed within the team including promising athletes such as: Letesenbet Gidey and Yalemzerf Yehualaw.
