Norb Sander won the NYC Marathon in 1974. Norb was loved by his family, friends and the thousands of kids who ran at the NB Track Armory. Norb Sander made the NB Armory his life work, and took an iconic structure and built the House that Norb built, a finely tuned athletic sanctuary. The NB Track Armory has over 85 events and 120,000 athletes a year.
