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.

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!

The Tribeca Running Club provides a opportunity for downtown runners to train, compete, or just go on casual group runs. Downtown Manhattan doesn't have as much of a running infrastructure as other parts of the city, so this group helps local runners stay motivated and connected, while enjoying the great paths and other running-related perks our neighborhood offers.

This group is for all beginner runners in New York City/North Jersey. This includes people who have recently started running, are starting running again after a break and people who have not started to run, but now want to do so. If your running pace is slow, do not worry. One of the goals of this group is to get faster. As we all get better, we can start training for races. I don't know about you but most other running groups expect you to run under 10 min miles (and that pace is considered slo …

This is a group for those interested in group runs starting in Long Island City. There are running clubs based in north Brooklyn and Astoria but none, for reasons I can't explain, in LIC. Goals of the group: change that fact; connect people seeking running partners; explore new routes. All skill levels welcome. Envisioning runs in the 4-7 mile range but the beauty of the experiment is it's entirely flexible to the wants of those who join!

This is a group for people who love to walk, jog, or run the steps in Morningside Park in New York City. I started this group because I love outdoor exercise and because real stair climbing is a fun, low impact way to get great cardio training. I have created various routines and workouts that include upper body training so that stair climbing can be an whole-body workout.

The greatest, funnest, and best-looking group of (wannabe) runners in NYC. Well, at least 1/3 of that is true. And we can definitely guarantee fun. Come join us for a workout, a run, a bRUNch, or just come and hang out! We encourage runners of all abilities -- especially if you think you are slow -- to come join us for a fun run. We run, eat a lot of food, make friends, and never take anything too seriously. http://nyc.informalrunning.com/

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.

A group of entrepreneurs, ladies who lunch, the unemployable, those on permanent and semi-permanent vacation and others who enjoy a good trot around the park rain, shine or snow but never before 9am... Regular week day (M, W, F) trot from East 61st Street entrance around reservoir and back (approx 4 miles) at around 8-9 minute mile pace depending on the festivities of the night before. Commence around 9.30am. Calisthenics thereafter for those who fancy it.

This is a group for all those in the Jersey City area that need a bit of group support and camaraderie to help shake out of the winter laziness, and take advantage of the outdoor settings we can use for exercise. I would like to try to have daily groups meeting in the parks and waterfront for a bit of mutual encouragement and friendly competition. The activities will range from calisthenics, light kettle bell routines and jogging to start, and may evolve to having a scheduled run through some of …

OK what's up with all the neurotic 9 am running groups? I use Saturday mornings to sleep in after a long week of work and other crap. Let's do a nice civilized 4 pm run in Central Park (or other locations if we want). This is the first one (because I couldn't find any other small running groups at this time, I started my own).

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

This is a group for anyone interested in running along the river below 14th St. I started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts who want to be outdoors in the morning instead of in a gym on a treadmill. All skill levels are welcomed but you should have some running experience.
