The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series

Forget the frantic pace of the race clock and the crowded corrals - The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series is bringing a different kind of energy to the pavement. From April through September, we’re hosting 5 laid-back, community-first tours of NYC that’s more about the miles and the memories than the podium. Whether you’re looking to cruise through a scenic 10K or stretch your legs with a steady 10-Miler, or even a easy 5K walk/run, these runs are designed to let you soak in the local flavor of every borough at your own speed. No timing chips, no pressure, just great routes, better company, and a shared journey toward those running goals.

We are kicking off the season on Staten Island, the home of the Wu-Tang Clan, with the first of our runs. Please meet us at the parking lot by 7:30 AM; wheels up (and feet moving!) at 8:00 AM sharp.

Please note: this will not be a race, but instead a collaborative long run. To keep things low-key and focused on the miles, we will not be providing bibs or timing the run. We encourage everyone to track their own miles on Strava or Garmin.
