Port Chester, NY 10573
Dear Stuart,
I am the Director of Operations for SOUL RYEDERS, a local cancer support 501(c)3 non-profit based in
Rye, NY. We have been in existence since 2007 and our mission is to provide personalized resources,
innovative programs and community support to anyone in the New York Tri-State area impacted by any
type of cancer.
This past May 21st, SOUL RYEDERS held its inaugural Half Marathon & 5k throughout the streets of
Rye. We had an incredible turnout of over 1100 participants crossing the finish line. The participants were
split roughly half and half between the half marathon and the 5k races. Throughout the planning process,
we engaged Playland, the City of Rye, the Rye Police Department, the Rye Fire Department and the
Westchester County Police as integral partners. Participants, the Rye community and our partners shared
positive feedback on the event and its well thought out and organized management.
I would like the opportunity to present to the Village of Port Chester Board of Trustees at their October 16,
2023 meeting to request approval to incorporate some of the Village streets into our revised half
marathon course for 2024. Our goal is to create a bi-community event with Rye and Port Chester where
local communities and businesses can play a role in this event.
Currently, our course in the Port Chester area is in draft form. The roads we are considering are: heading
north on Grace Church St to a left onto Sand St, left onto Midland Ave back into Rye. I have been in
contact with Captain Nielsen of the Port Chester Police Department for his course/road recommendations
and will work with him on the best route for the participants and your community. I have also been in
touch with John Iapoce, NYDOT, as that portion of Midland Avenue would need their approval. SOUL
RYEDERS will be responsible for obtaining any and all necessary permits, as well as naming the Village
of Port Chester as a co-insured on our liability insurance.
I look forward to the chance to share our excitement about this event with your Trustees and look forward
to collaborating with the Port Chester community on this event.
Many thanks for your consideration
