Stories from the Streets.

Nick
Malone
In NY, the grind never stops.
We met Nick in Central Park, ready for the toughest miles ahead. From dodging traffic to post-run burritos, the city’s hustle drives him.
At 5 a.m., when others are grinding, he’s right there with them. It’s the global running community and the faces he's met that keep him pushing.
In NY, every runner has their own rhythm.
We met Alex, from Brooklyn, grounding herself in her favourite park.
She shared her mantra: rhythm, resilience, and adaptability—keys to navigating life in the city's sprawl.

Leach
In NY, there's always something new around the corner.
We met SOAR athlete Matt Leach, enjoying the autumn air in Prospect Park.
He spoke of the city’s endless variety—street races, club events, and how it’s always on the move. And of course, the best post-run pizza slice or bagel.
In NY, it’s all about the hustle.
We met Nick in the Lower East Side, where he’s found his rhythm.
He spoke of movement, community, and how the city’s relentless pace taught him to slow down. From blazing summer runs to Central Park's never-easy hills, he’s embracing the routine, always training, always moving.
