RUN LIKE KWASI

When Kwasi Kessie isn't styling or designing, he’s conquering new fitness feats. His running journey began at an early age, witnessing his own mother conquer the NYC Marathon. Thus began his love affair with running NYC (literally and figuratively).

Running has taken Kwasi from Harlem to around the world and has elevated him mentally, physically and professionally. Since 2013, the 9-time New York City Marathoner, and 15-time half marathon runner has sprinted across miles of track and concrete, while achieving his fitness goals through endurance training. 

Now holding the title of adidas Runners NYC Captain of Culture and Experience, Kwasi hopes his passion for his city transcends beyond his friends and family and inspires his community to hit the pavement.
