Norm Zinker

Brooklyn-born NYC native who lives, works and runs in Manhattan. Norm, 66, has completed 27 marathons, running his first one in 1982. An avid photographer; and a country and rock music fan, Norm hopes to spot a few air-guitar polar bears on the frozen Arctic Ocean course. He works at the Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft Fitness Center, powered by Plus One. Norm is hoping to raise global warming awareness, specifically, on the North Pole. "Polar bears too, need a place to call home." Norm is dedicating his run to Steve Jobs; wishing him a speedy recovery. *To donate to his charity, please visit www.tinyurl.com/northpolemarathon.
