The race starts at 8:30, and the course will close at 11:00, after which the water stations will be dismantled and there will be no Marshalls or police escort on the course, so this event is not recommended for walkers.

We Run Uptown emerged in July 2013 from heartbreak and a determination to build running culture in an Uptown Manhattan neighborhood with few organized options. Founded by runners who saw the streets as community canvas, the crew has grown into a tight twenty-strong collective that treats every mile as a way of being present. Their philosophy is straightforward: street runners first. They welcome all paces and all backgrounds, asking only for raw, unfiltered energy. Monday nights at 7:15 from Bodega Pizza, they hit the neighborhood streets rain or shine, creating social space where the run matters as much as the beer and conversations that follow.
Boogie Down Bronx Runners was born from a simple observation. In May 2017, Lenny and Jean Paul noticed a gap in their borough no one else was filling, so they decided to change it themselves. The Bronx is the unhealthiest county in New York State, but these two runners believed something different was possible. What started as a solo runner at their first meetup has grown into nearly 40 strong on weekly runs, a non-judgmental community of everyday Bronx residents proving that running can transform lives, one BX mile at a time. They gather Sunday mornings at Edgar Allan Poe Park and Tuesday evenings at Pelham Cornerstone Community Center, offering two chances every week to be part of something real.
