Bronx Burners RC
Bronx · Concourse, South Bronx
The vibe
Bronx Burners was co-founded in 2023 by Shaquille Roberts and Rob Dalto and has become something much larger than a running club: a nonprofit that has raised $260K and awarded $100K in scholarships to Bronx youth, with an NFL PLAY 60 partnership and mentorship programs that have sent kids to college. Free Wednesday night runs at Macombs Dam Park (7pm, Joseph Yancey Track) bring out ages 4 to 60+, with Roberts describing the scene as grandmas racing alongside first-time runners. The community investment is the point — running is the vehicle. Featured by ABC7 and NY1 as one of the Bronx's most impactful organizations.

BX Endurance Runners
BX Endurance Runners is a long-distance training club rooted in the South Bronx, meeting every Sunday at 8am at Joyce Kilmer Park on 161st Street near the Grand Concourse. The culture is explicitly ego-free, designed to bridge the gap between walking and long-distance running for anyone 18 and up, regardless of pace or experience. The club organizes its own annual race event called 'The Race' featuring a half marathon and 5K, and competes in the NYRR Bronx 10 Mile alongside other Bronx crews, giving members real race goals to train toward. After 10 years in the borough, it functions as a cornerstone of Bronx running infrastructure rather than a scene or social club.
