01 — About NYRRCBorn on the
Born on the
reservoir loop
Founded in 1978 by three postal workers who ran before shifts. Today NYRRC is a non-profit community powering everyday runners across all five boroughs.
Our mission
Running is for every body
We believe finish lines belong to everyone. NYRRC removes barriers: free youth teams, sliding-scale membership, beginner walk-run groups, adaptive athletes program, and pace leaders who never leave anyone behind.
Every week we host 14 free group runs, from sunrise 5AM miles around Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir to sunset strides on the Hudson Greenway. No watch, no fancy shoes required — just show up.
Why NYRRC hits different
More than miles
We are coaches, volunteers, race directors, park cleaners and cheer squads. We time your first mile and pace your 26th. We bring bagels, safety bikes, and loud cowbells.
