Find a favorite route (or two, or three)

No other city allows you to see so many cultures in one turn around the corner. Whether you'd like to try a new run route or explore a neighborhood that's been on your bucket list, use the below routes personally mapped by our family of NYC athletes as an inspiration for your next journey. And you can now swing by our brand new NYC flagship store for a custom fitting.

Shorter Distance Routes

These routes are great options for quicker runs with fewer changes in elevation. If you're newer to running, consider trying one of these routes with a friend or a local run crew.

Shorter routes are a perfect match with the Cloudswift, designed specifically for city explorers. Find your perfect fit below. 

Longer Distance Routes

These routes are great for testing your endurance and challenging yourself across greater changes in elevation. Check out our recommendations across boroughs below.

Longer routes pair well with the Cloudstratus, which offers our maximum level of cushioning to support your entire journey. Grab a pair below.  

Meet your NYC On family

It can be challenging to find your own running community, especially across a behemoth like NYC. Luckily, the On family runs deep in the Empire State, and we'd love to meet you. See what our team is up to and send them a DM if you'd like to get involved.

David Kilgore (@davidkilgore)

When David’s not busy being the face of On in New York and Philadelphia, US, he’s building mileage and tearing up trails. In 2019, he made his debut for Team USA at the Trail and Ultra Running World Championships.
