No More Lonely Runs
Manhattan · Central Park, Hudson River Park
The vibe
No More Lonely Runs started in February 2023 with seven friends running Central Park on a Saturday morning and has grown to 10,000+ members globally and 1,500+ in Manhattan alone. The name is the whole philosophy: show up solo, leave with friends — all paces, all backgrounds, judgment-free. Founded by Mallory Kilmer, the club has partnered with Propel, Gymshark, and Mastercard, and has a recurring Mastercard NYC Marathon partnership. Free to join, with a warm community infrastructure that makes it easy to find your people even in a group this size.

Central Park Running Club
A free social run club meeting every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30am at the Loeb Boathouse, breaking down the walls between elite and social runners. All paces welcome.
Unrushers Running Club
Body-positive running community in Manhattan built on one principle: no one gets left behind. Pace is deliberately slow and the club explicitly states it is not a weight loss community — members come in every shape, size, and speed. Routes rotate across Central Park, Riverside Park, and the Hudson River Path. Schedule is informal and announced week-to-week via Facebook and Twitter rather than a fixed calendar. One of the most accessible beginner-friendly clubs in the city.
Dyke Run NYC
A running club for queer women, trans, and non-binary people that is open to everyone and welcoming to beginners. Runs in Central Park, Prospect Park, and along the West Side Highway. Three sessions p All paces welcome.
