Tired of the same old routes? Let's spice things up! Imagine a Roosevelt Island Lighthouse Run or an industrial-chic route through Red Hook; these hidden gems are waiting to be explored! Sunsets, ocean breezes and 5Ks? Yes please! Rockaway Beach summer races are the top of the top. And the best part? Boardwalk after run parties! It's a total beach bash with a side of running.

NYC's brimming with choices so why confine yourself to a single borough? From Queens' Flushing Meadows to Bronx Zoo routes the sky's the limit; public transit is your trusty sidekick! Transform your run into a bite-sized getaway!
