Founded in 1989, the New York Flyers is one of NYC’s most welcoming, inclusive, and community‑driven running clubs. We are known for our signature long runs in preparation for the TCS New York City Marathon—rooted in our early role supporting NYRR’s original long‑run programs—so we know how it’s done. Although we’re one of the city’s largest teams, we’re known for our friendly, safe, small‑club feel and our strong support for runners of all ages, paces, and experience levels, including masters runners, beginners, and returning athletes.
We host year‑round weekly group runs in Central Park and Prospect Park, fully supported long training runs, and a full calendar of social events and fun runs for runners across New York City. Many members train with our individualized Marathon Training Program (MTP) and SpeedPass sessions using the VDOT method, whether they’re preparing for their first marathon or aiming for a new personal record.
Join us at a group run, meet the team, and experience the Flyer spirit.
