From her 14-lb. weight loss to tackling trauma and anxiety, Ellie shares her incredible story. 

Runstreet was psyched to be a part of the NYC Marathon weekend thrills, with a Shakeout Art Run on the Lower East Side, hosted by Whole Foods Market Bowery location and co-sponsored by Clif Bar.

Each cheer washing over that inner echo "You're nothing." Each step getting me farther from that voice and closer to the truth. I was doing it, and the whole city of New York was behind me.

I found out about the Riviera Nayarit Half Marathon from the race director, Arturo Garcia, and it felt like perfect timing. I was finally able to run again and train for something and also did not have plans for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Runstreet enjoyed our first ever Boston Art Run, in partnership with Clif Bar, and all ticket sale proceeds went directly to the Mayor's Mural Crew in Boston. 

As I wandered around Boston to prepare for our Clif Boston Art Run, I came across two happy blue characters rowing along a color-splattered brick wall. They added such a whimsical, imaginative flair to the historic New England city, and I was excited to come across more of the colorful blue creatures.

Runstreet celebrated Global Running Day the best way we know how, with a beautiful Art Run! Thanks to ConBody Bowery studio for hosting an incredible evening of art, sweat, socializing and exploring the colorful Lower East Side!

Alison's latest project is a 240-mile run to empower women everywhere.

On January 18, Alison and a team of women runners will start a 240-mile run from Harlem, New York City to Washington, DC to attend the Million Women March on Washington and raise $44,000 for Planned Parenthood.

I was living in NYC and traveling the world, seeing street art all over the place. I was always inspired by street art, with its unexpected presence and transformation of public space. I also love the inner dialogue that happens between me and the art when I pass by. It's both so personal and public. One day, I couldn't stand how I couldn't feel inspired, so I picked a print of one of my shoe sketches and created wheatpastes and hit the city.

Runstreet founder Marnie Kunz got the opportunity to sit down with Will Sanchez for an interview on his inspiring running show, "Gotta Run with Will."

Runstreet hit the stunning streets of Williamsburg for an inspiring 5K Art Run on Dec. 10, followed by a kick ass circuits workout at OrangeTheory Fitness Williamsburg.

There are many obstacles that prevent poor people and people with mental illness from accessing exercise opportunities. For example, the cost of transportation, the cost of gyms, lack of exercise education and health information, hazardous environments...Then there are the obstacles like uncertainty, intimidation, resistance to change, inconvenience, discomfort and low self-esteem that we all tend to face regardless of mental health or income.

The Light Up the Night Run brought together many runners from across NYC to highlight the need for better lighting in our city's parks.

It's been a busy fall at Runstreet, with our first year of art runs in full swing and street art runs from Brooklyn to Manhattan to Queens. We've seen incredible new murals and enjoyed lots of miles and smiles together.

"Being a part of Back on My Feet has given me things and shown me things that transcend running. It has provided me with a new appreciation for battling adversity and introduced me to some wonderful people. Aside from that, I think New York is the greatest running city in the world."

My goal I guess is that people get attracted to the work, stop, and get taken away in the moment…away from their smartphone and live in the present.

I've had the opportunity to run 12 miles with someone who has overcome greater odds than I can imagine, but at one point didn't think he could run a mile. A teammate that struggled through a 10-mile race a year ago, carried me through a 16 mile run last week. My sister is running her very first half marathon in January and I get to run beside her. They motivate me.

I first came across Myth's street art in Bushwick when I stumbled into this amazing super heroine calling for an end to catcalls. Thank you Myth for this interview, and I hope sometimes I'm at least half as heroic as your street art characters:).
