Looking to start a new running club in New York.....

Barefoot Runners NYC is a group of runners who have left their thick-soled sneakers in the dust and started running with Vibram Five Fingers, other minimal sole shoes, or totally barefoot. Maybe you've read Born to Run, or maybe you've gotten injured running and are looking for a better solution -- whatever your reason, this is the place. The body's natural stride is a healthier, more natural way to run, resulting in better running efficiency and fewer injuries. We follow a lot of Daniel Lieb …

This group is for people looking to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city while in the company of other people who enjoy the sights and sounds of the c …

Women in Motion! This group's mission is to: 1) encourage women of all ages, and backgrounds to run and walk their way to better health and fitness. "If you run, you are a runner.

There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." - John Bingham Now shall I walk or shall I ride? "Ride," Pleasure said. "Walk," Joy replied. - W. Davi …

We run and sometimes dine/beer afterwards.  Runs are generally in the north Brooklyn area and vary in length.  You should be able to run at least 3 miles at a conversational pace (we are a chatty bunch). Come join us!

I am wondering if there are beginning runners around Harlem who runs through central park entering from the FDB circle entrance.  If you are already a regular runner, please feel free to suggest date/time.

Let's face it, going to the gym is boring.

We will mainly workout in many of the beautiful parks around queens and other NYC areas. This group will focus on staying active and fit as we …

I don't know about you, but I'm in terrible shape. All those obstacle races that are so populare now (run for your lives, 5k foam fest, rugged maniac, superhero scramble, the color run, etc.) sound like a lot of fun, though. If they sound like fun to you and you'd like to run them too, why don't we a.) train together and/or b.) meet at the event? Training can be ordinary running, but we can also do things to train for the obstacles. I'm thinking rock climbing, water parks, or whatever anyone els …
