GOATS Run Club

GOATS Run Club was founded on a simple belief: the greatest mountain you'll ever conquer is yourself. Every Tuesday, runners of all backgrounds gather in Astoria Park for structured, coach-led workouts designed to help athletes become stronger, faster, and more confident. Whether someone is chasing their first 5K or preparing for the New York City Marathon, every session is built with purpose and scaled to multiple ability levels so no one is left behind. While many run clubs focus on the social aspect of running, GOATS is rooted in personal growth. We believe running is a vehicle for discipline, resilience, and self-improvement, and our community reflects that mindset. We challenge each other to show up consistently, celebrate every milestone, and embrace the work required to reach our goals. In just over a year, GOATS has grown into an official NYRR-affiliated club with a thriving community of more than 1,000 runners online and a dedicated core that shows up week after week. Beyond our weekly track sessions, we've organized community runs, partnered with local businesses, and created opportunities that make running more accessible while strengthening connections throughout New York City. At GOATS, we don't just train for races—we help people conquer their mountain.
