WRU Crew (We Run Uptown)
Manhattan · Washington Heights, Inwood
The vibe
Community-first, culture-rooted crew that has never missed a Monday since 2013. Founded by Washington Heights natives Hector Espinal and Josh Mock to bring running culture north of Central Park to predominantly Latinx neighborhoods. Deeply neighborhood-pride-driven — routes loop through Washington Heights and Inwood, occasionally into the Bronx. All paces welcome, walkers included, no one left behind. Post-run social at the bar is part of the ritual. Operates Comunidad WRU, a nonprofit focused on health access in Northern Manhattan. Nike Running partner. Peaks at 150-200 runners on Monday nights.
