Teased out for the first time last week, a new series focused on running within the NYC Metro area is underway with production. Directed by Harry McFann, a former runner at Columbia, the series aims to provide a look at the smaller intricacies of the running scene.

We Run New York is a docu-series centered around the unlikely convergence of the sport of running, and the City of New York. We'll share the previously untold stories of the dedicated people who pursue something they love, in an environment seemingly inhospitable to it. From Olympians, to those running their first miles, We Run New York aims to capture the uniqueness of life in New York, especially as it pertains to runners.

The Stories
Our goal is to highlight the more humble and unassuming qualities of each episode's subject matter, e.g. the daily routine and struggle of a runner in an environment inhospitable to one, rather than focusing on just flashy success stories. More than anything else, it is the humanity of running that we want to examine, and explore the different reasons people are drawn to running.
How You Can Help
We want this to be the best documentary possible, and your generous donations will help make that happen! Any donations will help fund:
Compensation for all crew and collaborators
Lighting and other equipment rental
Travel Expenses (any out of town races we cover)
Post-production
Music licensing
Race and archival footage licensing
There are many more stories to tell about New York running, and
any additional funds will go towards producing additional episodes,
including one about the New York City Marathon.
