During college it may be difficult to find time to be active, relieve stress, or connect with others. At MRNCLB, we know from experience how challenging it can be to balance classes, work, and personal life; and how isolating it can be to have to handle it alone. Our purpose is to create space where students can come together to run, support one another, and take care of both their physical and mental well being. We hope to use these runs to build accountability, encouragement, and friendships. We will begin meeting during the spring semester to strength train for longer runs and begin runs that are accessible for both amateurs and professionals.

The Macaulay Run Club was created to provide a space where students can come together to run, support each other, and take care of both their physical and mental well-being. Running isn’t just exercise—it’s a way to build accountability, encouragement, and friendships, all while giving students a break from the stress of everyday life.

We plan to host weekly or bi-weekly group runs through spots like Central Park, the West Side Highway, and Van Cortlandt Park, as well as provide access to verified online training programs that connect running, strength, and recovery days. These activities are designed to help students stay consistent, build community, and feel supported in their fitness goals.
