Ridgewood Runners is a community-based run club founded in 2023 in Ridgewood, Queens, built on the idea that running should feel joyful, inclusive, and for everyone. What started as a small group has grown into a vibrant crew of runners of all levels who show up each week to move, connect, and support one another.
We meet weekly for runs around Ridgewood and Bushwick, along with special events and collaborations throughout the year. Our goal is to create a community that lifts each other up, inspires growth, and makes the whole journey fun.
The Ridgewood Runners 5K is a celebration of that spirit, bringing our community together for a shared start line at one of our favorite local spots, the Ridgewood Reservoir.
