Run with us. Grow with us. Give with purpose.

Fuel the Miles. Strengthen the Community.

When you choose to give, you become part of something bigger—something powerful. Dyckman Run Club is more than a weekly meet-up. It’s a movement rooted in Northern Manhattan — built on sweat, encouragement, and the belief that showing up for each other changes lives. When you donate, you’re not just supporting a run club. You’re investing in free community programming, neighborhood events, and opportunities that make wellness accessible to everyone.

As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. That means your contribution not only fuels something meaningful locally, it may also reduce your taxable income. Giving to a nonprofit like DRC is a transparent and accountable way to invest in community health, equity, and grassroots leadership.
