The JC Green Semi-Marathon, 10k, 5k

Old Man Run Club was born in 2018 when three friends, tired of joking about their age while running through New York City, decided to turn those jokes into something real. After the NYC Marathon that year, they sent a group email with a simple ask: who wants to run long? Everyone showed up. Today, around 50 runners, many of them women despite the name, gather every Saturday at Urban Studios to run distances from 9 to 22 miles. Founded on the belief that long distances should feel approachable, not intimidating, OMRC has become a grounded community where honest miles and good company matter more than pace or experience. No gatekeeping, no pressure, just runners who understand what it means to go the distance together.

Lostboys Track Club started in June 2014 when Jeremy and Tim gathered friends who wanted more from their running. Inspired by the spirit of Peter Pan's lost boys, what began as a small group chasing races evolved into a thriving community of around thirty runners across New York City. The club believes ambitious goals and genuine joy belong together, with a philosophy rooted in dedication to craft, commitment to the grind, and shared belief in what each member is capable of. Bound by real friendship and an eclectic mix of backgrounds and abilities, Lostboys Track Club runs track sessions, city routes, and annual retreats outside the city. The races are the goal. The people are the reason.

Harlem Run started in November 2013 with a conviction that running could transform lives in one of New York City's most iconic neighborhoods. Founded on the streets that became their stage, this crew embodies community, service, and the power of movement. Runners, walkers, and joggers of all ages, sizes, and abilities call Harlem Run home, united by the belief that fitness belongs to everyone. Completely free to join, they gather twice weekly on Mondays at Harlem Shake and Thursdays at Harlem United, starting on time and ending together with a crew stretch. If you love Harlem, you already belong here.

Black Roses NYC emerged from downtown Manhattan in 2012, born from founders Knox and Jessie's vision of a running crew that matched the intensity of the city itself. What started as a shared hunger for serious racing and street culture has grown into 35 members strong, each one invited rather than recruited. The collective brings together nurses, DJs, bartenders, and near-pro athletes, bound by a philosophy of pushing beyond current limits into uncharted territory. Twice-weekly track sessions form the crew's backbone, structured around goal races with sessions like five 1Ks, descending ladders, and 300-meter repeats. At Black Roses NYC, earning the black bib means understanding that you don't just show up, you prove yourself.

No Regrets Runners started in January 2013 when a group of runners crossed the finish line of NYRR's RunAsOne charity race and realized they'd found something bigger than themselves. What began as a unified effort to fight lung cancer evolved into a registered nonprofit running crew committed to raising funds and awareness for communities in need. Based in New York City, No Regrets Runners operates on a simple philosophy: Run for a Cause. Every Tuesday at Columbus Circle and every Saturday at 90th and 5th Avenue, members show up because the mission pulls them forward. Purpose replaces motivation here, and the crew has grown into a tight-knit community where runners log miles that matter, week after week.
