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.
Group photo time before we head out. I see that Team Saucy AF getting flashed there Francisco.

Team Saucy AF all up in here.
Oh NYC…how I love shooting here.
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.
American pride shows up everywhere here.
Why you all alone Matt? Where are your friends?
Greg enjoying the foggy view.
I totally got spotted hiding down in the rocks. Yes, I almost slipped and fell in the Hudson River.
Runners ripping, cars polluting. I know which group is smiling, and which group isn’t. Sucks to be you drivers.
Soooooo, did you get to Eugene Kiersten?
Greg always looks so happy when he’s running with this group.
I’d stop and take a photo too. It really is a lovely day with the fog on the water.
I can always find gritty backgrounds in NYC.
Matt dodging signs and tourists all morning.
I hear ya buddy.
No I didn’t get shit on. Was I expecting to? Yes. Would it have been worth it for this shot? Yes.
I had to get a selfie at some point. Thanks for the assist Matt!
Perhaps this was staged. Perhaps it wasn’t. You decide.
Back ripping through the streets with the wide angle chasing these folks on a bike amongst the traffic. I found my playground.
Heading home after a great little run. Lot’s more from the Take The Bridge team heading to The Speed Project coming soon.
La fin.
