Bronx Running Clubs Drive Community Fitness Through Weekly Group Runs

The Bronx Running Club meets every Monday at 6:30 PM at Williamsbridge Oval Park, while The Point CDC crew gathers Wednesdays at 6:30 PM at 940 Garrison Ave. These free weekly sessions form part of ongoing efforts to boost participation in running and walking across the borough.

Why the clubs matter now

The Bronx was named the least healthy county in New York for the 16th consecutive year in 2024. That ranking, paired with 35 percent of adults classified as obese and only 65.5 percent reporting exercise in the prior 30 days, has kept attention on accessible group activities that encourage regular movement without cost barriers.

Named locations and weekly options

NYRR Open Runs take place at four fixed Bronx sites each week: Crotona Park on Sundays, Pelham Bay Park on Thursdays, Soundview Park on Saturdays, and St. Mary’s Park on Saturdays. Runners can join these sessions alongside the Monday and Wednesday club starts already noted.

The 48th annual Run the Bronx took place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Bronx Community College and drew more than 2,000 participants for its 10K, 5K, and 2-mile fitness walk. The New Balance Bronx 10 Mile is set for Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 8:00 AM, giving club members a clear target event on the calendar.

Next steps for participants

Anyone interested can arrive at the listed parks or addresses at the stated times. The sessions remain open to all fitness levels and continue on their fixed weekly schedule without additional registration requirements mentioned in current listings.
