Gentle Giant New York Regional Manager Josh Charry will serve as the logistics manager for the half marathon. He explains that the “The Sleepy Hollow Half Marathon is a great community event that we look forward to every year. In addition to being fun for the Giants and the Westchester community, this event is a perfect fit for Gentle Giant Moving Company, as we have a highly athletic culture, love to compete, and spend every day running boxes throughout Westchester and New York City!”
