NYC Trail Mix

Forget the frantic pace of the race clock and the crowded corrals - The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series is bringing a different kind of energy to the pavement. From April through September, we’re hosting 5 laid-back, community-first tours of NYC that’s more about the miles and the memories than the podium. Whether you’re looking to cruise through a scenic 10K or stretch your legs with a steady 10-Miler, or even a easy 5K walk/run, these runs are designed to let you soak in the local flavor of every borough at your own speed. No timing chips, no pressure, just great routes, better company, and a shared journey toward those running goals.

We are kicking off the season on Staten Island, the home of the Wu-Tang Clan, with the first of our runs. Please meet us at the parking lot by 7:30 AM; wheels up (and feet moving!) at 8:00 AM sharp.

Please note: this will not be a race, but instead a collaborative long run. To keep things low-key and focused on the miles, we will not be providing bibs or timing the run. We encourage everyone to track their own miles on Strava or Garmin.

As runners, we find ourselves supporting our local watering holes after a long hard run. We cast away calorie counting and quench our thirst with a crisp frosty cold one. But the question is, which watering hole, bar or Tavern has the fastest feet?! That is why Trimara Sports is bringing back the infamaous (in a good way)Tavern Cup 10k! So when you register, enter your favorite Tavern even if it serves delicious mocktails. What is your favorite social place.
