The manifesto

01

the feed can wait.

You spend hours a day on a screen. Three times a week we take one of those hours back and spend it running with other people.

02

slow is still running.

Each pace has its own group, and the group waits for its last runner. First timers line up next to people chasing sub-3.

03

one finish line.

We aim our training blocks and tune-up races at Central Park on November 7, 2027. On race day the crew cheers from mile 24.

6:45 PM6 to 10 km
tue

Track Rage

McCarren Park Track, Williamsburg

Intervals on the track. You run your own pace, and the group waits for the last runner in.

6:30 PM8 to 12 km
thu

Bridge Night

Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan side, City Hall

A loop over the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. You climb them now so mile 24 hurts less in November.

8:00 AM14 to 32 km
sun

The Long One

Central Park, Engineers' Gate (90th and 5th)

You build the marathon on Sundays. We split into pace groups and get coffee after, with phones in pockets.

Strava sync

count every mile.

Connect Strava once and we turn your runs into a marathon dashboard. You see weekly volume against target, a race-day time estimate, a year of running on one grid and your latest route drawn as a poster.

    Eleven miles up Fourth Avenue and through Bed-Stuy and Williamsburg, with crowds on both sides.

    Queens

    You pass halfway in Long Island City, then climb the Queensboro Bridge with no spectators.

  4. MILE 16
    Manhattan

    You come off the bridge onto First Avenue and the loudest crowd of the day. Hold your pace.

  5. MILE 20
    The Bronx

    You cross in on the Willis Avenue Bridge and out on the Madison Avenue Bridge. Most runners hit the wall around here.

  6. MILE 21

You have 360 days to get ready for it, and we wrote the plan already.
