Girls Run NYC
Girls Run NYC began in January 2014 when Jessie Zapo gathered nearly twenty women for the first session at a cycling shop on Manhattan's Lower East Side. What started as a cold winter run has grown into a community of hundreds. The crew operates on a simple philosophy: running is a great equalizer, and doing it together builds accountability, real motivation, and lasting friendships. Many of the earliest members have become leaders, carrying the community forward. Every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., Girls Run NYC meets at McCarren Park track in Brooklyn for structured workouts that welcome all paces and abilities.
