About us

Our friendship started with running. We trained and ran the TCS NYC Marathon together and we became inseparable. We decided to share our passion with other people and created NY World Runners.

We believe that running can change people's lives and we hope to give our contribution with this club. Everyone is welcome, any age, gender, nationality and fitness.

Our mission

NY World Runners' mission is to create an inclusive community for runners of all genders, ages, nationalities, and fitness levels.

We believe that running is much more than logging miles and collecting medals. It is a sport that helps us be our best selves and feel at home anywhere and everywhere. NY World Runners is a setting for making long-lasting friendships, finding encouragement and inspiration, and rising to new challenges.

Our goal is to provide a support system for runners to develop and maintain a healthy habit that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. We seek to introduce new runners to a sport like no other and encourage experienced runners to maintain and improve their fitness level.

What we do

Some of the activities promoted and facilitated by NY World Runners include organizing group runs and coordinating participation in official races around the world.
