The vibe
Greenpoint Runners (GPR) is the official run club of Bandit Running, launched in January 2023 out of Bandit's brick-and-mortar store at 37 Noble Street in Greenpoint. Founded by Bandit co-founders Tim West, Nick West, and Ardith Singh, the club was deliberately named after the neighborhood rather than the brand — the intent was to bring together neighbors, not just customers. More than 50 people showed up for the inaugural Saturday morning run, and the club has drawn a loyal, neighborhood-rooted crowd ever since. Post-run, Bandit provides coffee and bagels at the store, making the hangout as much a part of the ritual as the miles. GPR runs out of a creative, foodie-forward corner of Brooklyn — Greenpoint's gallery scene, natural wine bars, and destination coffee shops (Rhythm Zero, Bar Americano) define the crowd that shows up: design-adjacent, community-minded, and genuinely into running rather than just the aesthetic of it.

Williamsburg Track Club
Williamsburg Track Club is a coach-led, technically rigorous running group founded in 2009 by USATF Level 3 / IAAF Level 5 coach Todd Weisse, who also serves as an assistant coach at Columbia University Track and Field. The club runs two structured workouts per week — VO2 max track sessions at McCarren Park on Tuesdays and lactate-threshold road work in Central Park on Thursdays — with a philosophy centered on form, foot strike, and long-term athletic development over quick fitness gains. The group skews toward serious competitive runners but welcomes all levels who want real coaching infrastructure. At roughly 20 members, it operates with small-group intimacy and a no-nonsense, performance-first culture.
