Year 13.

Monday Night #670+

Year 13 started the same way Year 1 did, with people showing up for each other.

More than 670 Monday nights later, we’re still meeting on the same streets with the same purpose: to move together and make Uptown feel a little smaller.

Looking around, we saw familiar faces who have been with us for years, first-timers who decided yesterday was their Day 1, and everyone in between. That’s the magic of this community. Every Monday, the starting line belongs to everyone.

Thirteen years later, this has never been about chasing miles. It’s about showing up for your people. Turning strangers into family. Proving that something real can be built one Monday at a time.

The mission hasn’t changed. The pack just got bigger.

Flor De Mayo x We Run Uptown

For 49 years, Flor de Mayo has been an Uptown institution. It’s where families celebrate birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, promotions, and countless Sunday dinners. It’s one of those rare New York places where the food is incredible, but the feeling of walking through the door is what keeps people coming back.

So when it came time to celebrate 13 years of We Run Uptown, there wasn’t a more fitting place to gather.

Most people probably expected a rooftop, a private club, or the newest restaurant in the city. Instead, we partnered with Nike Running to surprise our runners with a full buyout of Flor de Mayo.

This is the first time Flor de Mayo has
ever closed its doors for a brand dinner, and it’s something we’ll never take lightly. The theme of the evening was family, and there are not many places Uptown that embody that feeling quite like Flor.

From the moment everyone walked the red carpet, the energy felt different. The sangria kept flowing, dish after dish made its way to every table, conversations stretched across the room, and in true Flor de Mayo fashion, almost everyone left with a to-go box because there’s always more than enough to share.

And once dinner was over... nobody was ready to leave.

The tables were pushed aside, the music got louder, and the dining room became an uptown living room. Friends became family, old memories met new ones, and for a few hours it felt like all of 13 years of WRU was under one roof.

That’s what We Run Uptown has always been about.

Yes, we run together. But the miles have always been the excuse. The real goal has been building a community where people feel seen, welcomed, and at home.

Thank you Flor De Mayo Restaurant for opening your doors and allowing our community to celebrate such a meaningful milestone within a space that already means so much to New York City. It was an incredible honor to become part of Flor de Mayo’s story, even for just one night.

Thank you and José for helping us bring our vision to life.

Snoeman x WRUCREW
The Uptown Heavyweight Tee

Some collaborations are planned. Others are meant to happen.

Back in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, we met Snoeman by chance at a rooftop BBQ. He was finishing a mural, we introduced ourselves, chopped it up for a bit, and went our separate ways.

A few years later, he showed up to a We Run Uptown run. Then another. And another. Before long, he wasn’t just part of the crew, he was part of the family.

The Uptown Heavyweight Tee is a tribute to the streets that have carried us for the last 13 years. The blocks. The avenues. The hills. The corners where stories are shared, friendships are built, and miles become memories.

Because these streets didn’t just give us a place to run, they raised us. They taught us resilience, community, and what it means to show up for one another.

This tee is for everyone who RUNs UPTOWN in every sense of the phrase. Whether you lace up every week or simply carry Uptown with you wherever you go, this one’s for you.

Available at Monday night’s run (7/20).
Online Tuesday (7/21).

Yesterday morning, we partnered with for a special 5K community run to celebrate the final day of their NYC Ici c’est Paris ! La Maison pop-up.

After the run, we spent time exploring the space, playing FIFA, connecting with fellow runners and football fans, and enjoying some French pastries.

A great reminder of how sport has a unique way of bringing people together, whether it’s through running, football, or simply sharing a moment in community.
