Streets101 Long Run Saturday from Custom Performance in NYC
February 22 2018 // New York City, NY
Streets101 believes in the power of running and that we as runners are stronger together. Led by Greg Laraia and Andy Wegman out of Custom Performance in NYC, the Saturday Long Run is the staple practice, with speed and track sessions coming Spring of 2018.
While in New York City recently to document the Take The Bridge team heading to The Speed Project, I dropped in on Streets101’s Saturday Long Run led by Greg Laraia. A huge group was out on a perfectly cool winter morning in Manhattan as we headed up the West Side Highway and back with some fun street action along W 40th.
A great group worth checking out if you live in NYC, or are visiting.
Here is a quick set of some photos I captured of the group on February 10th, 2018. Thanks for letting me tag along folks!
The man himself, Mr. Greg Laraia talking to the group before we head out.

Working our way towards W 40th as we head to the West Side Highway.
09:14:12 am on 10.02.2018
Team Saucy AF all up in here.

Oh NYC…how I love shooting here.
09:21:06 am on 10.02.2018
The group actually stopping at a light. A rarity in NYC.

Peace!

Ugh…Jersey across the Hudson in the background.

I love the West Side Highway and the juxtaposition it creates. Runners bikes on one side, cars ripping by on the other.
09:42:34 am on 10.02.2018
American pride shows up everywhere here.
09:43:00 am on 10.02.2018
Why you all alone Matt? Where are your friends?
09:47:45 am on 10.02.2018
Greg enjoying the foggy view.
09:53:01 am on 10.02.2018
I totally got spotted hiding down in the rocks. Yes, I almost slipped and fell in the Hudson River.
09:57:39 am on 10.02.2018
Runners ripping, cars polluting. I know which group is smiling, and which group isn’t. Sucks to be you drivers.
09:58:44 am on 10.02.2018
Soooooo, did you get to Eugene Kiersten?
10:12:44 am on 10.02.2018
Greg always looks so happy when he’s running with this group.
10:13:31 am on 10.02.2018
I’d stop and take a photo too. It really is a lovely day with the fog on the water.
10:22:22 am on 10.02.2018
I can always find gritty backgrounds in NYC.
10:25:03 am on 10.02.2018
Matt dodging signs and tourists all morning.
10:32:34 am on 10.02.2018
I hear ya buddy.
10:35:03 am on 10.02.2018
No I didn’t get shit on. Was I expecting to? Yes. Would it have been worth it for this shot? Yes.
10:39:10 am on 10.02.2018
I had to get a selfie at some point. Thanks for the assist Matt!
10:39:59 am on 10.02.2018
Perhaps this was staged. Perhaps it wasn’t. You decide.
10:40:55 am on 10.02.2018
Back ripping through the streets with the wide angle chasing these folks on a bike amongst the traffic. I found my playground.
10:42:38 am on 10.02.2018
Heading home after a great little run. Lot’s more from the Take The Bridge team heading to The Speed Project coming soon.
