Run Clubs in Lower East Side
2 run clubs meeting in Lower East Side, Manhattan.
Bridge Runners
Bridge Runners is the original NYC run crew — founded in 2003 by Mike Saes, it's widely credited with sparking the global run crew movement that followed. Every Wednesday around 7:40pm they leave from the Lower East Side and run the city's bridges — Williamsburg, Manhattan, Brooklyn — stopping for street art, stories, and whatever else the neighborhood offers. The philosophy is 'serious runners who don't take it too seriously': pace groups accommodate different speeds, and the routes change weekly so it never gets predictable. Free, drop-in, no membership — just show up on a Wednesday.
