Barefoot Runners NYC is a group of runners who have left their thick-soled sneakers in the dust and started running with Vibram Five Fingers, other minimal sole shoes, or totally barefoot. Maybe you've read Born to Run, or maybe you've gotten injured running and are looking for a better solution -- whatever your reason, this is the place. The body's natural stride is a healthier, more natural way to run, resulting in better running efficiency and fewer injuries. We follow a lot of Daniel Lieb …

We are runners in the New York City neighborhoods of Woodside, Sunnyside and surrounding areas of Queens.

We even have a cozy track in our 'hood! Join the group and tell us where you like to run! We organize group runs and outings so that we can build a community of runne …

The Tribeca Running Club provides a opportunity for downtown runners to train, compete, or just go on casual group runs.
