Organizations in New York

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.

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.
