New York Flyers

Open to individuals of all athletic abilities and experience levels

Who We Are

We take pride in our "small club feel."

The New York Flyers was founded in 1989, with the goal of establishing a running club open to individuals of all athletic abilities and experience levels. We are one of the oldest and largest clubs in New York City, but take pride in our "small club feel." Members train together, cheer each other on at races, and socialize! We have competitive age-group runners, first-time runners, triathletes, and runners looking to maintain fitness or improve on a PR!
