Celebrating Sukkot with NJR 🌿

One of the things that makes the “Jewish” part of our name shine is how we celebrate our holidays, traditions, and culture together.

Sukkot is all about coming together, welcoming people in, and celebrating as a community. There’s something pretty special about doing that with over 100 NJR runners in a sukkah.

This is what the Jewish part of Nice Jewish Runners means to us. 💙

Last night, we ran together, fulfilled the mitzvah of the lulav and etrog, and enjoyed dinner together in the sukkah.

Chag Sameach! 🍋🌿✡️

What an incredible day at the 5th Ave Mile! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

The rain didn’t stop us, and 31 NJR runners came out and flew down Fifth Avenue!

Our women’s and men’s teams both finished 6th overall and 1st in Tier C in the NYRR club competition, increasing our 1st place lead in the standings!

And a huge shoutout to our two fastest runners, who both set new NJR club records in the mile! 🔥

Stephanie Moss ran an incredible 4:40, finishing as our top NJR woman, and placing 2nd overall in the Road Mile Championship. Dillon Arye ran an impressive 4:22 setting a new NJR men’s record and winning his heat.

We are so proud of everyone who showed up, raced hard, cheered each other on, and represented NJR.

Rain or shine, NJR shows up✡️

Shana Toving with NJR🪩

What an incredible night of community, fitness and Jewish pride to bring in the Jewish new year

Thanks to everyone that joined and make sure to bring a friend at our next event✡️

As we enter the new year, we feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by this community.
⠀
When Nice Jewish Runners began, none of us could have imagined what it would become. But what makes us proudest isn’t the number of people, cities, races, or events.
⠀
It’s the people. It has always been the people.
⠀
To everyone who showed up, brought a friend, volunteered, led a run, cheered someone on, wore the shirt, welcomed a new face, or helped another runner feel like they belonged: thank you.
⠀
Because of you, this past year was filled with extraordinary growth and achievement. We opened new chapters, including Chicago, San Diego, Austin, and two chapters in Australia following the Bondi attacks. We ran together across cities, countries, and continents. We honored Jewish traditions, celebrated our holidays and heritage, supported Jewish organizations and businesses, celebrated Zionism, spread Jewish pride, raced every distance, and created friendships that will last far longer than any finish-line clock.
⠀
And we’ve only just begun.
⠀
As we begin this new year, we hope NJR continues becoming more than a running club. We want it to be a place where Jewish people feel deeply connected to their identity, their values, and one another.
⠀
Our challenge this year is simple: show up for each other.
⠀
Bring someone new to a run. Introduce yourself to the person beside you. Invite someone to Shabbat. Cheer louder. Get involved. If you see someone standing alone, go say hello.
⠀
The future of this community is something we create together.
⠀
As you reflect on how you can help strengthen Jewish community in the coming year, please consider supporting NJR’s High Holiday Fundraiser with a one-time or recurring donation through the link in our bio. Every donation helps us continue building a community that creates lasting impact far beyond the miles we run.
⠀
On behalf of the entire Nice Jewish Runners leadership team, we wish you and your families a Shana Tova U’Metukah. May the year ahead be filled with health, happiness, peace, love, meaningful relationships, and plenty of miles together.
⠀
We are incredibly grateful for every one of you, and we cannot wait to see what we bu
