Ok… this weekend is going to be action packed.
We are hosting 10 events between Friday, November 1st, and Monday, November 5th. We also have our very first community space!!!

And thanks to New Balance and Shopify our dreams have become a reality.
All events throughout the weekend (with the exception of the cheer zone and post race party) will take place at our Pop Up location at 131 Greene St in Soho NYC.
