OUR MISSION
We’re building a stronger Bronx community through opportunities in sport. Empowering all through health & wellness, social, and academic initiatives to expand their potential.
Our Story
In July 2023 Rob Dalto was in Central Park holding a sign asking "Are you running the New York City Marathon?" in hopes of sparking conversations with other runners. A Bronx native, Shaquille Roberts, stopped. Once they started chatting, they realized that there was a gap in the running community - specifically, how many young people wanted to run but didn’t have a road map for how to begin. This led them to found the Bronx Burners Run Club, which is where our story begins.
Bronx Burners Run Club aims to make running accessible to all in the Bronx community and is based on the premise that making a real difference is not only possible but vital. Our motto 'opportunity through community' drives us to promote health, unity, and empowerment through running. We organize events, provide training, and support local causes to create a positive impact.
Our initiatives are designed for all backgrounds and paces to help you achieve your goals, train with others, challenge yourself, support and meet other runners, inspire and develop friendships and be the best you.
Join us in our journey towards a healthier and more connected Bronx!
Above all, passion is at the heart and soul of everything we do.
