Welcome, again, to November Project — and specifically, November Project NYC!
We’ve had the great joy of so many new friends joining our community in the last couple of months (and years), that we’d like to share the following easy access, abbreviated orientation to all things NP NYC. (And for all of our long-term pals, past and present, have a read as well – we hope you might be inspired to dust off your grassroots gear and join us at Bethesda sometime soon!)

Having a community in the best of times is wonderful, but we also strongly value being a community that sees each other through challenging times and accepts one another in the completeness of our experiences. Today we’re proud to be sharing a special guest blog from November Project NYC member – and recently published author – Patty Cabot:
The party doesn’t stop in the city that never sleeps—especially on the best weekend of the year! The New York City Marathon is a little over a week away, and we are super psyched to have all of our runners and friends taking to the streets in the town so nice they named it twice!
Whether you’re here to run 26.2 miles, cheer your faces off, or volunteer to make race day run smoothly—fill out this spreadsheet so we know how and where to find you: NP x NYC MARATHON 2022!
The only thing we could possibly, maybe love more than our NP humans are our NP doggos!
Which is why we were so excited to get a Monday verbal for Baldwin this weekend — what could be better than stairs, hills, and unlimited ear scritches? Alas, 6:28am rolled around and those short little legs were nowhere to be seen.
We’ve really missed Mondays and stairs (okay, some of us more than others) but we know there’s a lot of you that miss them too! So we’ll be bringing back Monday workouts for the months of April and May.
What’s new, you ask? Unlike our past Mondays, we’re laying out a regular schedule that will look like this (subject to safety and weather conditions):
We can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since the streets of New York were filled with tens of thousands of runners. But this November, the biggest block party in NYC is back! We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the 50th running of the New York City Marathon!
There is truly nothing else like it and IT. WILL. MOVE. YOU! Running through the five boroughs on Marathon Sunday is like taking part in the world’s longest NP cheer tunnel. And in that awesome collaborative spirit, this year’s NYC Marathon Weekend is brought to you by the combined efforts of November Project NYC and November Project Brooklyn!
In the last six months our return to in-person workouts, the introduction of three new co-leaders, and the welcoming of many new faces has brought a lot of change to November Project NYC.
