NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting with the TCS New York City Marathon, New York Road Runners (NYRR) and Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON) have announced a multi-year partnership to bring NYRR races to life to runners around the world through Peloton Scenic and Outdoor content. The audio classes will release in late 2023 with Scenic content launching in the spring of 2024 on the Peloton Tread/Tread+. Peloton will be a Strategic Partner of NYRR's through 2025 in the Digital Fitness category, as the brands work together to create motivational fitness content accessible to runners of all abilities. As a new Strategic Partner, Peloton will also activate around the United Airlines NYC Half and the RBC Brooklyn Half.

"New York Road Runners puts on many of the world's premier road races, and we are thrilled to partner with Peloton to bring the excitement of our race courses to consumers around the world," said Christine Burke, SVP Strategic Partnerships and Runner Products.

More than 50,000 runners will take part in the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon on November 5, and Peloton will create scenic running content available for consumers featuring Peloton instructors. This programming will live in Peloton's Scenic content library, incorporating actual course footage – a first for Peloton. Unique features such as auto-incline will further the experience, mimicking the feeling of bridges, for a truly immersive experience. In addition to its running content on the Peloton Tread, Peloton also currently offers a breadth of programming geared toward runners and walkers of all levels, including outdoor walks and runs, as well as strength and yoga classes for runners, all accessible on the Peloton App, no equipment required.

Every now and then, runners need a change of scenery. That's where Peloton's scenic content comes in. With content shot in locations ranging from Iceland to Hawaii and Italy, Peloton's scenic content is designed to provide a change to an individual's day-to-day Peloton routine. This content captured at this year's marathon will be available on the Peloton Tread and Tread+ in the spring of 2024.

As part of its partnership with the TCS New York City Marathon, Peloton will also be present throughout the race course, bringing the energy and motivation to runners and spectators alike.
