Williamsburg Track Club
Brooklyn · Williamsburg, Greenpoint
The vibe
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.

No Bad Days Run Club
No Bad Days gathers every Thursday evening at Other Half Brewing in Williamsburg for a 3.5-mile run at roughly 9:45 min/mile that finishes with a sprint to the top of the Williamsburg Bridge — then $5 beers back at the brewery. The vibe is 'social with a sweat': easygoing enough that the post-run hangout feels as important as the miles, without being so casual that you're not actually working. Free, no membership, just show up.
