In June 2026, Ottilia Demeter was announced as the winner of the 2026 New York Road Runners Miles of Impact Award Presented by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), the Official Hospital of NYRR. The award honors runners who embody community spirit, inclusivity, excellence, gratitude, innovation, integrity, passion, and teamwork. Coach Ottilia is all of that and more—she leads training for Forest Park Runners in Queens with infectious enthusiasm that motivates and encourages others to see running as a path to personal growth and connection.
Her journey to the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon was special because of the support of @HSpecialSurgery and the community she inspires.
