Run

WEPA is an inspiring and motivating running movement that was founded in New York City in the summer of 2016. Their name is a powerful double entendre: it is an acronym for their core values—Work-Excel-Persevere-Achieve—and "¡Wepa!" is a popular Hispanic cultural exclamation of joy and excitement. The crew was created to inspire those intimidated by running and to help people run their very first mile. They have since cultivated a supportive "family atmosphere" where members hold each other accountable and celebrate every milestone along the way.

The Boogie Down Bronx Runners are a vibrant and inspiring collective founded on May 30, 2017, with a powerful mission to bring a community-focused running culture to their home borough. Established by founders Lenny and Jean Paul, the crew was created to fill a void and promote wellness and engagement for people of all abilities. From a first run of just three people, they have grown into a major force in the New York City running scene, embodying their motto, "All for our borough!" with every stride they take.

Community Run

GoldFinger Track Club (GFTC) is a unique and diverse running collective with deep roots in New York City, founded in March 2016 by Jerry. Born from a winning relay team, GFTC operates with a distinct structure: they are a global crew with no regular weekly meetups, allowing members to run freely and come together only when it matters most—for events, races, and parties. They have a dual mission: to unite a diverse group of athletes, from elite underground racers to beginners, and to have a positive impact on their community by building new runners from the ground up, especially in Brooklyn.

Community Run

We Run Uptown (WRU) is a transformative running movement that has been leading the running culture in Upper Manhattan, New York City, since July 2013. Born from a moment of heartbreak, the crew has grown into a collective of athletes who bring a "raw, unfiltered energy" to every run. Their vision is to embody the culture and people of their community in every mile they run. They are famous for "owning Monday nights" with an all-weather social run, and have expanded to include track nights and Saturday long runs, welcoming all paces to join their journey.
