Running the perimeter of Manhattan is one of the most legendary underground endurance traditions in New York City running culture — roughly 32 miles tracing the entire edge of the island from the Hudson River Greenway to Inwood, around the Harlem River, and back down the East River waterfront.

What used to feel like a secret ultra-distance challenge has now become a full movement powered by crews like and organizations like , who continue turning the entire island of Manhattan into one giant community course.

Thousands of footsteps circling Manhattan together ✨

The route hits nearly every iconic running stretch in NYC:
Battery Park.
West Side Highway.
Washington Heights.
Harlem River Drive.
East River Esplanade.
The northern tip of Inwood.
Then all the way back downtown.

Part marathon.
Part ultra.
Part celebration of the beautiful city of New York.

Over the last few years, NYC run clubs have exploded into one of the biggest movements in fitness culture, but the Manhattan perimeter sits in its own category because it represents something deeper:
community, grit, endurance, exploration, and seeing the entire city one step at a time.

Crews like , , , and countless other NYC running communities continue proving that some of the best events in running don’t happen inside stadiums — they happen out in the streets of New York City itself.

32 miles around Manhattan.
One island.
Best city.

Just run ✨

Did EVERYONE do an this weekend?!

From

…the global circuit was basically a nonstop 48-hour wave of swim-bike-run.

And this weekend alone, thousands of athletes across multiple continents lined up at sunrise chasing PRs, World Championship slots, Pro Series points, and basic survival.

Some of the biggest storylines:

dropped one of the fastest bike performances ever at — reportedly averaging over 30 mph for the 56-mile bike split.

continued her breakout season with huge performances across the North American 70.3 circuit.

IM703Aix once again delivered one of the most stacked European fields of the year with battling and through the hills of southern France.

Meanwhile the sport itself just keeps growing globally — the 70.3 series now spans 100+ races across 40+ countries, making it the largest half-distance triathlon series on earth.

And what makes 70.3 racing so fascinating is that it sits in the perfect middle ground:

You need the engine of a cyclist, durability of a marathoner and pacing discipline of a chess player.

And somehow every single weekend the machine just keeps rolling into another coastline, another country, another start line.

Congratulations to anyone who has crossed that epic Finish line.

A Finish is a Win ✨

Back-to-back domination in Provence.

just defended her title at the 2026 70.3 Aix-en-Provence with a massive 4:08:27 victory — one of the fastest performances of the entire IRONMAN 70.3 season so far.

Swim: 24:55
Bike: 2:19:53
Run: 1:19:18

And she did it against one of the deepest women’s fields in long-course triathlon:
finished 2nd in 4:12:10, while 2024 IRONMAN World Champion charged to 3rd in 4:12:46.

What makes this even crazier:
• This was the 15th anniversary edition of IRONMAN 70.3 Aix-en-Provence
• The race is part of the global IRONMAN Pro Series — where every second matters
• IRONMAN 70.3 is a 70.3-mile race:
1.2 mile swim + 56 mile bike + 13.1 mile run

Marjolaine has now gone back-to-back in Aix after also winning this race in 2025 — continuing her rise as one of the strongest French long-course athletes in the world. She also finished 4th at the IRONMAN World Championship in Nice.

The women’s professional field right now is absolutely STACKED:

Faster.
More creative.
More community-driven.

You feel it through crews like , , , , , , , , , and hundreds of independent crews that now define modern running culture in NYC.

And Brooklyn was showing off ✨

Triathlon season never stops.

The Championship Series (WTCS) is essentially the Formula 1 of endurance sports — a global circuit where the fastest swimmers, cyclists, and runners on earth race city to city for world ranking points, prize money, and World Championship titles.

💎 Abu Dhabi — March 27
💎 Yokohama — May 16
💎 Hamburg — July 11

Athletes from federations like , , , , and spend the entire season chasing rankings, national team spots, and Olympic positioning toward Los Angeles 2028.

And then there’s the Mixed Relay:
Woman → Man → Woman → Man
Short. Violent. Absolute chaos.

Meanwhile, the longer-distance side of the sport is exploding through the World Tour — helping turn triathlon into a true year-round global professional sports circuit.

The marathon travel industry has quietly become one of the biggest forces in running.

What started as a niche service for runners who couldn’t get through lotteries has evolved into a global “race travel” economy built around guaranteed bibs, hotels, logistics, VIP experiences, and destination marathon culture.

• — Sports Tours International
• — Marathon Tours & Travel
• — Destination Sport Experiences
• — 209 Events
• — Rogue Expeditions
• — RunCzech / Prague International Marathon series
• — Marathon Adventures
• — Albatros Adventure Marathons

And these travel companies stepped into the gap by offering:
• guaranteed entries
• premium hotels
• airport transfers
• race transportation
• shakeout runs
• city tours

the trip
the medal
the community
the story.

And these companies realized that before almost anyone else…. ✨

The 2026 RBC Brooklyn Half is about to take over New York ✨

On Saturday, May 16, nearly 29,000 runners will race 13.1 miles from Prospect Park to the Coney Island Boardwalk in the kickoff to summer in NYC. The race is now one of the largest half marathons in the United States — and arguably one of the most iconic urban half marathon finishes in the world.

This year’s forecast is shaping up to be classic Brooklyn Half weather:
• Morning temps in the mid-50s
• Afternoon highs around 73–75°F
• Low rain chance
• Potential heat buildup later in the race along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island

The course is deceptively hard.
Runners battle the rolling hills inside Prospect Park before grinding through the long exposed stretch of Ocean Parkway toward the boardwalk finish.

Along with the Expo presented by runners can expect Community activations throughout Brooklyn, Sustainability initiatives and More than 1,000 youth runners participating in the Boardwalk Kids Run.

The Brooklyn Half has evolved into far more than just a race. It’s now one of the defining weekends of running culture in America — where elite athletes, first-time half marathoners, fans, influencers, and New York City energy all collide on one course.

Let’s not forget some of the run clubs that support and source energy for this epic weekend- ✨

From the brownstones of Prospect Park…
to the endless straightaway of Ocean Parkway…
to the roar of the Coney Island boardwalk finish…

Brooklyn is about to RUN. 💎

On August 30, 2026, tens of thousands of runners from around the world will cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge and charge toward one of the most iconic finish lines in global sport — the steps of the Sydney Opera House.

What started as an Olympic legacy race from the Sydney 2000 Games has now officially become one of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors alongside races like the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon. Sydney joined the Abbott World Marathon Majors in late 2024, with its first official Major held in 2025.

The growth has been staggering.

The 2026 race reportedly received more than 123,000 applications, making it one of the fastest-growing marathons in the world.

And the energy around Sydney right now feels different.

This is no longer just Australia’s biggest marathon.
It is now one of the defining races in global running culture.

Expect the city to be packed with athletes, crews, run clubs, brands, and spectators from every continent as runners take on the rolling streets of Sydney before finishing beside the harbor.

Sydney’s run culture has exploded alongside the race itself, led by clubs and crews helping redefine community running in Australia:

And some of Sydney’s most iconic run retailers and specialty stores continue to anchor the scene:

From elite marathoners chasing fast times…
to first-time runners earning a World Major medal…
to crews flying across the world for the experience…

Sydney has officially entered marathon history.

The bridge.
The harbor.
The Opera House.
The atmosphere.
The Major star.

Good luck to all runners of the 2026 Sydney Marathon.
