Nice Jewish Runners is a vibrant community that unites Jewish New Yorkers through a shared passion for running. We foster a supportive environment where runners of all levels connect, grow, and achieve their fitness goals while strengthening their Jewish identity.

Nice Jewish Runners organizes social events, volunteer opportunities, and educational programs that celebrate Jewish values, traditions, and culture alongside our shared love of running. By combining athletic pursuits with meaningful social connections, Nice Jewish Runners empowers individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives while contributing to a thriving and engaged Jewish community. Through this, we strengthen ourselves, each other, and the Jewish community as a whole
