Help and Inspire People Through Running -- At New York Road Runners, it is our goal to give everyone on the planet both a reason to run and the means and opportunity to keep running and never stop. Over the past 60-plus years, we have grown from a local running club to a global champion of the running movement. We are the world’s premier community running organization, and our efforts and events serve all runners and active individuals, from beginners to professional athletes: the young, the elderly, and the underserved of all abilities. We impact the lives of people throughout the five boroughs and around the world through a wide variety of events and programs for people of all ages and abilities.
